That's not true. Indian record in Test series has been 28 wins, 19 losses, and 25 draws since 2001. And India win an ODI tournament once every tournament.

it's not necesarily easier to sell, even if it's very marketable.
you can very nicely advertise an epic Test marathon as the Ashes, like big marathon races make the numbers and audiences even if they are not so easy to follow in their entirety.
marathon, semi-long distance and sprints (from 100m to 400m, let's say) all have their following - it's still an athletic contest.
