Heavy overnight rain, followed by the subsequent torrential mid-afternoon downpours, washed out the entire Southern Premier Cricket League programme, with all 20 scheduled matches across the region washed out.
It was the first time this season the cricket had been interrupted, five games being called off in the morning without a single ball bowled.
The inclement weather didn't stop two batsmen making centuries - left-hander Ben Duggan scoring 115 for Portsmouth before the Premier Division match against St Cross Symondians at St Helen's was halted five overs into the Winchester club's response to a formidable 260-5.
Hampshire's Fletcha Middleton hammered the Havant attack for a classy 142 not out for promoted Division 1 side Fair Oak, where he spent his formative years.
He hit five sixes, one of which landed on the roof of a train pulling out of the adjoining Havant railway station. No one was injured. Fair Oak posted 250-4 before the rains came.
