Ben White (The News)
Fareham & Crofton waited 41 days to kick start their ill-fated Division 1 campaign - they have suffered seven either weather hit or covid related cancellations, plus a welcome abandonment at Parley - but when they eventually took the field again, their match with Winton was all done and dusted in a mere 16.4 overs !
That's how long it took Fareham to bowl their Bournemouth visitors (who pitched at Bath Lane with only ten men and no umpire or scorer) out for a paltry 23 and knock off the runs to record a ten-wicket victory.
Only five Fareham players were able to make a meaningful contribution.
Skipper James Headen ran Winton's opening batsman out for nought, then Ben White weighed in with a 6-16 return and new signing Conor Clark took 2-8 and caught the last wicket.
Six Winton dismissals were bowled. Five batsmen bagged ducks. Their innings was all over in 13.3 overs. Their 23 ao was the second lowest Division 1 total behind Longparish with 21 in 1996.
It took Fareham 19 balls to complete the formalities - Dan Wimble hitting 19 of the runs they required.
