You can gauge the success of the Twenty20 World Cup by how people worry about its impact on Test Cricket.
Surprisingly, everyone seems assured when it comes to the fate of the ODI’s. According to me Test Cricket will flourish, the ODI’s will die unlamented.
The change I envisage will be in the duration of the Tests. With Twenty20 taking the centre stage, Test Cricket will be become more frenetic and batsmen will be hard put to play 3 days.
Two years down the road, 4 days should suffice for a Test Match.

Yes. Test cricket and T20 will live and 50-50 will have to leave the stage.
I didn't think about it that way, but what you say about the 4 days could happen. It's started already...quite a few test matches in the past few years have ended early.
