Pathetic batting effort, yes Middlesex posted a decent batting total, and they've got some good bowlers (Finn and Franklin) but that was a very poor attempt.
When you see the top ODI and T20 batsmen manoeuvring the ball around, all out batsmen seemed to be able to do was hit the ball to long on/off for a single or loft the ball to long on/off and get caught...

Tough chase, however it could have been a lot worse as the four overs (16-19) only went for 23 runs, no boundaries.

that's quite a good run rate isn't it?
