18.4 UNINTENTIONAL SHORT
RUNS
When judging short runs, the umpires must decide whether the short run was intentional or not
If the short run is accidental, the umpire at that end will wait for the ball to become dead before calling and signalling the short run
However, the umpire will not call and signal if the ball subsequently crosses the boundary unless the boundary is a result of an Overthrow or wilful act of a fielder (see Law 19.8 – Overthrow or wilful act of fielder)
The umpire at whose end the short running occurs will call and signal Short run when the ball becomes dead.
If this is striker's end umpire, the signal will be repeated to the scorers by the bowler's end umpire.
It is bowler's end umpire's responsibility to ensure that the scorers know how many runs are to be scored.
