And the distance travelled will reflect the amount of attitude.
And when it is the sort of attitude displayed by the England cricket selectors, then that metaphorical distance travelled won't be great. I know they're 'only' playing Sri Lanka, non-Titans of the international cricket (five day) scene, but this is an away series and England could do with a heartening display of Winning and yet ...
The England selectors have:
awarded Andrew Strauss a central contract then told him not to bother packing his bags
picked a squad that includes a lot of youngsters who qualify on the grounds of having performed 'well' in recent One Day Internationals.
included Phil Mustard as a reward for having made a 'satisfactory impression'
What a muddled message. No wonder the selectors have overlooked the claims of Ramprakash for a place in the squad; he'd hardly sit comfortably in the midst of this overwhelming mediocrity and inexperience.
PS: this effing Spell checker can't even recognise Sri Lanka. What am I supposed to do? Call the place Ceylon? Grr
