Charlie Ayers smashed a brutal 130 and Babu Veettil ran amok with figures of 5-32 as Andover thrashed bottom of Southern Premier Division 2 Fawley by 156 at Holbury.
The third placed Lions ran up 258 before skittling Fawley for 102.
Ayers (left), who is renowned for his big hitting, launched into the Fawley attack, with two sixes and 17 fours, his career-best 130 (and maiden hundred in any form of cricket) coming off 108 balls.
The run rampage came after Bailey Parratt had sent down a miserly ten overs, conceding only 17 runs.
All Andover needed to do was bat around Ayers and Harry Blackburn (30) was among five other batsmen who made starts.
Veettil’s spell with the new ball was simply devastating as he ripped out five of Fawley’s top six batsmen to leave the oilmen floundering at 37-6. The tail wagged to raise the total to 102 before Zimbabwean John Nyumbu’s 3-18 finished the innings off.

Ville began the last over - bowled by spinner Nick Doubell - needing eight to overhaul the hosts’ 166 all out total.
Skipper Archie Reynolds and Sam Robinson took singles off the first three balls before the latter struck a boundary off the fourth to level the scores.
Needing just a run off two deliveries, Robinson failed to score off the penultimate ball and was run out by Ben Smith attempting a match-winning single off the last.
Robinson (28) had helped Reynolds give Ville a chance of victory with a 61-run stand for the seventh wicket.
Reynolds, who opened, ended unbeaten on 64 - his second successive SPL half-century and his third of the league campaign (after compiling three in a row in pre-season friendlies).
Tim Jackson (4-41) and Sam Hillman (3-16) had earlier helped to bowl Fair Oak out fairly cheaply after they had been inserted.
Doubell (48) rescued his side, batting at No 6 and top scoring after Ville had reduced them to 73-5.
