Run home? Good call (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ring

'call' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'run home? good' is the wordplay.
'run' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'home?' becomes 'in' ('he's home' can mean 'he's in').
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'r'+'in'+'g'='RING'

(Other definitions for ring that I've seen before include "Wedding band" , "Band; arena" , "Group operating illegally < call" , "sign of union?" , "Besiegers' formation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
