Rain ravaged the start of the second half of the ECB Southern Premier League programme with all five Premier Division matches abandoned around tea time and three other games washed out without a ball being bowled.
Nine positive results were achieved, four in Division 1, where lead pair Basingstoke & North Hants and Andover both won, the Lions in a bizarre match at Rowledge where 17 wickets fell for 146 runs before Babu Veetil biffed Andover to victory
At Hambledon, South African Justin Behrens and Ventnor's Dinesh Thimodya scored centuries for their respective sides, Ventnor chasing down a reduced target of 209 with three balls to spare.
At the By-pass ground, Langley Manor's Ben Morgan (5-33) had OTs & Romsey reeling at 21-6 before Hakim Peruzi hit 88 to turn the match on its head and point the second placed club to an eventual win. Leaders Waterlooville were rained off.
There was heartbreak for Division 3's bottom club Fareham & Crofton, who were within sight of inflicting a first defeat on Sway when the rain came to save the unbeaten leaders, who were struggling to defend 134. Similarly, strugglers Bashley (Rydal) II mauled the Parley attack for a massive 305-9 when it rained.
To compound the agony for Bashley and Fareham & Crofton, Trojans beat South Wilts to claw clear of the danger zone.
Hampshire League champions Compton & Chandler's Ford suffered a second consecutive defeat when they were skittled for 93 and beaten by four wickets at Odiham & Greywell.
Division 1 leaders Hursley Park won at lowly Winton to move well ahead at the top, while Ferndown Wayfarers edged a two-wicket win at Alton and are now only three points behind Compton & CF.
Former Surrey and Warwickshire all-rounder Rikki Clarke teed off, hitting 11 sixes and 23 fours in a blistering 189 for Shrewton, who made 366-5 against Old Basing, who managed only two overs before rain swept in across Salisbury Plain.
