A Short pitched ball always get the treatment it deserves either by going back-foot or moving forward and converting it into a full toss ball. If the short-pitched delivery end up as a bouncer then it is very difficult to face because either you have to duck or try to make a hook-shot. Ducking may be seen as a cowardliness and if you don't time the ball properly, you will give an easy catch behind the wicket or the the gully area.

That would most commonly be known as a LONG HOP, although some other terms come to mind with that sort of delivery as well....

you are thinking of a full toss.?but that does not hit the ground it goes straight at the batsman,and can be dangerous even for an experienced player.
a bouncer more describes the kind of ball you are describing

It's called a long hop. If it's a really bad one it's called a rank long hop.
