One Short
To register a run, a batsman must touch the region beyond the popping creases either with his bat or body. If he touches the part before or on the popping crease and turns back for an additional run, the umpire calls out one-short and that particular run is struck out from the records.

Famous quotes containing the word short:
“she drew back a while,
Then, yielding to the irresistible joy,
With frantic gesture and short breathless cry
Folded his frame in her dissolving arms.
Now blackness veiled his dizzy eyes, and night
Involved and swallowed up the vision; sleep,
Like a dark flood suspended in its course,
Rolled back its impulse on his vacant brain.”
—Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
“A good short story is a work of art which daunts us in proportion to its brevity.... No inspiration is too noble for it; no amount of hard work is too severe for it.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (1844–1911)
