144 all out. 3 stupid run outs. Some rearguard action from FHP but that’s nowhere near enough with their line-up, and to not use up all your deliveries is criminal.

Why is Alsop captaining tonight when the club's own website says George Garton is T20 vice captain? Another mark of the lack of professionalism at Sussex CCC.
Managing his workload? If Mills cannot bowl 24 overs in 8 days he should not be playing county cricket.

Not going to win many T20 games with no runs and no wickets. Embarrassing

As a Sussex supporter that was painful to watch.
As comprehensive a defeat as there could have been. They could have given us a fifty run start and played with ten and still taken the points.
The most disappointing aspect is unlike the previous three matches, we showed no fight, pride or backbone. At times we were naive bordering on amateurish. Poor in all three disciplines.
I still maintain given how the team has been dismantled we need to be realistic about any ambition on achieving a place in the quarter-finals. However, I don't believe it unreasonable to expect a better performance than what we witnessed this evening.
I would anticipate there will be some very harsh words spoken in the changing room afterwards.
Hopefully, we will see some reaction tomorrow against Glamorgan.
Finally, well done to all those who managed to stick with it to the end.

Where do we even start?
Why did Alsop captain if Garton is Vice skipper in T20?
Presumably the team travels to away games on a coach together, so why was Ravi travelling seperatly from everyone else? Or was everyone making their own way to this game, if so, very bizzare.
There really isn't much point in keeping Mills. He loses more games than he wins anyway, and if he can't a maximum of bowl 48 balls in 72 hours when he only plays 1 format, then what's he doing here?
Did we learn nothing from the Essex defeat? Same terrible mistakes made with the bat. That's solely on the players, not the coaches or the board.
Shadab looks horrendous. It's almost like his averages of 13 with the bat and 40 with the ball for Yorkshire last year weren't going to cut it in an already struggling side.
I'm eagerly waiting for Farbrace's interview given what we heard post the Essex match.
Only positive is that there's a game tomorrow to get back on track.

Absolute shambles. You reap what you sew. We’re paying the price.

Devon has it right, we can't expect too much in the T20. We are rebuilding.
Farbrace much calmer in his post match interview, but still honest.
What worried me tonight was some of the younger lads looked shattered physically and mentally.
A very poor T20 performance.
Felt sorry for Alsop having to do the post match interview.
The more experienced T20 players need to do more both on and off the pitch.

Its truly pathetic Mills cannot bowl 8 overs in 2 days he only plays one format! If he cannot play two days his future at the county needs to be reviewed. Similarly if Bopara cannot arrive at the ground on time he should be stripped of the captaincy as this is totally unprofessional. A captain should lead by example. Why did he not travel with the team? As far as the team selection is concerned is Farbrace picking the names out of a hat? Khan has been poor with the bat and apart from one innings at Surrey Burgess has also been poor. Performance tonight sums up the general lack of professionalism at the county.
