Enigmatic Bashley (Rydal) have upset the ECB Southern Electric Premier League applecart by toppling title favourites Havant.
Their six-wicket success over the table-topping 2000 league champions came just seven days after skipper Neil Taylor had berated the side for a slipshod performance against Liphook and Ripsley.
Bashley would probably have slumped to the bottom of the table had they suffered a third successive defeat and lost at Havant.
But Taylor's side pulled out all the stops to spring a surprise result.
"We bowled a tight line early on, restricting them to 39-1 off the initial 18 overs," Taylor revealed.
Kevin Nash (1-27) struck a big blow by removing Andy Perry before Hindley (71) and Gover (58) established themselves with a 129-run second-wicket stand.
Off-spinner Andy Sexton (3-40) accounted for both batsmen and, by the 32nd over, Havant's innings was interestingly poised at 141-2.
"To be honest, we never allowed them to dominate after that and were quite happy to peg them to 197-5," added Taylor, who had a special word of praise for Chris Sketchley (1-33).
Bashley got off to a flier in reply, with Neil Thurgood and Andy Sexton posting 46 runs off the first seven overs after tea.
Blunted by the absence of Mackie Hobson and Bevis Moynhan, Havant's attack lacked potency - and Bashley duly cashed in.
Sexton (36) got the innings off to a flying start, but the match-clinching partnership was produced by Thurgood (66) and Western Australian prodigy Luke Ronchi, who made his first significant contribution of the season.
Ronchi cracked 60 in even time, hitting two huge sixes - one straight hit on to the adjoining railway line and another into the Havant Park tennis courts.
Bashley stuttered when Phil Loat (2-44) removed Ronchi and Richard Knowles at 144, but Sketchley (32 not out) joined Thurgood to take Bashley to the brink of a much needed victory.
Frustrated Bournemouth were hit by the weather for a second time in three weeks - the scheduled home match with weakened Portsmouth being called off.
"Chapel Gate was really saturated by the heavy Friday night rain and the game was effectively called off at breakfast time," explained Bournemouth vice-captain Martin Miller.
Lymington stumbled to their second defeat in three Premier Division three outings, losing by 61 runs to United Services at Burnaby Road.
Royal Navy opener Pete Andrew set up the US win with a splendid 120 and was supported by Mark Toogood (38) and Gary Hounsome (33) as the Portsmouth side posted 237-7.
Glyn Treagus took 3-44 for Lymington and was little more than a helpless bystander as the visitors' top order collapsed all around him.
Treagus (33) made the lion's share of Lymington's disappointing 59-5 response - veterans Kelson Brooks (3-56) and Paul Barsby (3-27) carving significant inroads into the top order.
It wasn't until Neil Trestrail arrived at the crease that Lymington's lot improved, the former skipper spanking a gallant 53 before Danny Peacock's side limped to 176 all out.
