What happens if a batsman attempts a run but the non-striking player refuses to move and they both end up at the same end? |  |

Whoever was in safe ground first is in, the other guy is out. So assuming the non-striker gets back to his ground safely (or never leaves) he is safe*.

Batsman is out. Particularly if the non striker never left the crease then it is categorically the batsman who is out |  | | |

Yep. And as per my response, even if the non-striker did back-up and leave their crease, as long as they get back in first, the batsman is out. | |

Thanks. I ask because I just caught some story about Ian Botham getting Geoff Boycott run out because he was scoring too slowly. I guess if Boycott has just sat tight he would have been OK. | |

Assume Beefy would've made sure Boycs left his crease, possibly by force | |

Depends who you're batting with.
Once as a teenager I was batting with our 40 odd year old captain who wasn't the most mobile, I came in and started at the non-striker's end. Captain did the old yes/no/yes/no/no/no and we both ended up down the same end.
Even though in no way it was my fault I had to go because he was the skipper and I was a nipper making up the numbers.

Batsman running to the non-strikers end would be out because it about who is in the crease first. Non-striker presumably hasn't left the crease so wouldn't be out. Wouldn't be very popular though... |  | | |

Boycott was notorious for getting his batting partners run out. |  |

Sorry about that.
But, as you point out, I was captain. | |

He said 40. Although granted, he also said odd... |  |

Beefy was sent out with a clear instruction to run him out Geoff always protected average |  |

I think it is termed their 'ground'.
It is the 'ground' of the person nearest
If both batsmen arrive at the 'ground' at the same time, it is considered to be the ground' of the one previously there
ie ball is hit, both decide to run, then to the same end, the one who was not at that 'ground' when the ball was bowled is out
have donned a 'butchers coat' and umpired a few village games - the scarcity of others, rather than any skill on my part has usually been the determining factor |  | | |

Ha. Recall coming in down the tail end of the batting order with our wicketkeeper, who was neither young nor mobile. I used to like running cheeky singles (really my only chance of moving the score on) and remember the look of horror on his face when I'd bellow "Yes!!" and come galloping down the wicket. Was eventually asked to stop doing that, lest a heart attack be induced. |  |
