“We ran them close,” said Hollman, reflecting on the low-scoring Surrey game in which his unbeaten 35 was Middlesex’s best effort with the bat. “Surrey will have been thinking – on another day, we could very easily lose that game.
“It’s frustrating, small margins, which is of course a common theme in T20 cricket. We’re not far off – and I know that’s always said by us in in this competition, but I think there is progress.
