India were deserved winners of the tri-nation one day competition but don't you think that as they lost the major prize (Test Series) this huge event and financial rewards are a bit over the top. Other countries believe that the reason our side had under-achieved over the years is because of the over-indulgence of their supporters. If Australia returned from an Indian tour having won the one-day competition but losing the test series there would only be disappointment. We are creating a culture of mediocrity
