One tactic I'd like to see Terrans with ghost use combating the 200 supply Toss deathball is a ghost nuke from the back of the Terran's army. While the bio kites backwards, the nuke if caught off guard can hit some units of the Toss army as well. Obviously much easier said than done, but a nuke at mid-late game TvP isn't that expensive, and if a Terran already has cloaking, makes it easier (add to the fact, the ghost is in the back, technically positioned the nuke over the Terran army's original position before kiting).

I think it's unexpected, and viable as long as observers aren't around to see a cloaked ghost, the extra insurance in this is as stated in the last paragraph, the ghost is in the back, even if a protoss player sees him, has to advance with a HT for feedback, or his army to kill it before the nuke falls.

I say this after watching Thorzain's last game vs. Elfi, I think a ghost used in this way could have been a great deterrent or helped him win the big battle when they were 200/200.
