Purbrook felt the pinch as Lymington seconds clawed in a maximum-point Southern Premier Division 3 haul – an unbeaten Terry Crabb century setting up a ten-wicket win.
The New Zealander, who played Shell Shield provincial cricket for Auckland in his embryo days, cracked a run a ball 106 not out, dominating a team record 182 opening stand with Oli Calcott, who made 58.
Crabb struck two sixes and 15 fours as Lymington waltzed past Purbrook’s 180 in 35.1 overs.
The visitors were in trouble once Trevor Phillips, with an SPL best 4-18, and Ed Freeman (3-37) reduced them to 35-5. Josh McCoy (41) and Josh Spiers (41) rallied, but Purbrook’s 180 (Hari Haran 26) was never likely to be competitive.
