SelectList -> how do I find the SelectedItem.Text ?

Question

There are times where I would like to take the SelectedList and ask for the Text item that has been selected. So using the example:

SelectList sl = new SelectList( new[]{
  new SelectListItem{ Text="one", Value="1"},
  new SelectListItem{ Text="two", Value="2"},
  new SelectListItem{ Text="three", Value="3"}
}, "Text", "Value", "2" );

How do I now ask the sl for the SelectedItem.Text ? I am surprised there isn't an is a method to do this, or atleast one I can see. Any suggestions? Do I need to IQuery or IEnumerate this in some fashion to make it happen ?
