As part of the 'top' cricket playing nations we need to be focusing on all three formats. Putting focus on one (Test) alone will just put us behind in the other two formats where we are already somewhat competitive.
Getting good at T20 CAN help us in Test cricket as it will improve our fielding, batting and bowling.
I am not willing to fall back in ODI and T20 as well. We are already way behind in Test Cricket and since we don't have solid catch up plan yet (poor coaching, captain and infrastructure and board management) I don't want to sacrifice the other two and come 2015, we'll still be ranked 9 in test cricket and content with one or two victories in the ODI and T20 world cups.
