A century by Joe Weatherley was one of the few high-spots to emerge from a crushing 323-run defeat inflicted by Surrey II on a young and inexperienced Hampshire 2nd XI in a three-day friendly match on the Ageas Bowl Nursery Ground.
Surrey piled up massive totals of 400-4 and 382-7 in their respective innings, with Hampshire skittled for 97 in their first knock, Matthew Dunn taking 6-34.
Weatherley hit a second innings 105 (19 fours) and shared a 155-run opening partnership with teenager Felix Organ (72) as Hampshire, having been asked to make a colossal and nigh impossible 696 to win, made 372 all out.
Ryan Stevenson, recovering from a back injury, underlined his batting prowess with 97.
