I have had this experience while I was umpiring for inter state match in Nagpur. I am a member of Association of Umpires and Scorers, England and a State Panel Umpire from VCA, Nagpur, India.
A batsman played ball towards long-on and took a single. The ball was returned to the bowler by the fielder. After crossing the sticker the non-striker (who is now a striker) take guard our side the crease without making his ground good. No one noticed this as it was a simple and comportable single.
Can this be called a Short Run. If so, when to call and if not why not ?
I shall be glad to receive comments.

No. A short run can only be called when the batsmen are turning for a further run. (Law 18.3(a))

There have been instances in ODI's where on the last delivery of the 50th over, the batsman, finding only a single, cross for the run but do not complete it. By then, the fielders consider the ball to be dead and the umpires also walk away along with the batsmen. But according to the law, "a run is scored so often as the batsmen, at any time while the ball is in play, have crossed and made good their ground from end to end." If the run needs to be scored, they should have "made good their ground from end to end". But in the earlier case that I mentioned, though we do not call short run, do we ask the scorer not to score that particular run?  ? Please clarify. |

No. A short run can only be called when the batsmen are turning for a further run. (Law 18.3(a)) I think this answers your question. I presume that the fact that the fielders and you have considered the ball dead means that that the run would have been completed without risk of a run out you would have taken a pragmatic view that the run had been scored. |

I am not speaking about calling a short run.
I am talking about the possibility according to law not to score that run, though we do not call it a short run.

I am not speaking about calling a short run. I am talking about the possibility according to law not to score that run, though we do not call it a short run. This is actually covered under Law 18.11.b.ii : 11. Runs scored when ball becomes dead (b) When the ball becomes dead for any reason other than the fall of a wicket, or is called dead by an umpire, unless there is specific provision otherwise in the Laws, the batting side shall be credited with (i) all runs completed by the batsmen before the incident or call and (ii) the run in progress if the batsmen have crossed at the instant of the incident or call. The ball became dead when the fielding side ceased to regard the ball as in play. The batsmen had crossed, therefore the run is scored. |
