I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer is a 2008 Australian low-budget comedy-horror film, written and directed by Stacey Edmonds and Doug Turner.[1]
Three amateur cricketers, Wallis, Blake and Peacock, are found murdered, items of cricket equipment being the murder weapons, and after Boyd is bashed to death in a toilet cubicle with a cricket bat, police begin to suspect a serial killer. The victims had once been members of an under-12 boys' team involved in a bullying scandal.Surviving members of the team are taken by police to a "safe house" at Joadja for their protection, but are soon disobeying their orders, and one by one are picked off in gruesome and humiliating ways by a lanky moustachioed killer in traditional cricketers' apparel (cream trousers, jumper and bucket hat), later identified as Phil Philips, the target of the bullying. Much of the mayhem is occasioned by a cricket ball turned to a deadly missile by insertion of six-inch nails, and by stumps with sharpened steel points. The action is interrupted for a gratuitous steamy shower scene, where Reynolds is played by Arianna Starr, a 'Miss Nude Australia'.The two police supervising the safe house are killed by Philips and Reynolds, who is revealed as not a police detective but Philips' sister and illicit lover.

I Know How Many Runs You Scored Last Summer (2008) – A rather-amusing-sounding Australian slasher flick featuring a serial killer who uses bats, stumps, a spiked box and a wicketkeeping glove.[2]
