One can't kill another one, it can only contribute. This debate is as old as 'Juta Abishkar'. Natural resistance only. 20 can help test cricket to improve further, just like ODIs have improved the standard of test cricket. ICC went upto banning the ODIs & players with same reasons, but ultimately we have seen that it didn't kill test cricket rathar improved. We see more decisions in test cricket, better runrates & chases. So one form of cricket will never kill another format of cricket, it will only help to improve.

Bonus, the playes are getting more money, the boards are having an opportunity of making more money from 20-20 tournaments, that brings more money into cricket, so cricket is benefitted. Chartable sports don't progress in these days, it has to be economically profitable to improve a game.

So just relax and enjoy some T20 boom boom occassionally, good for mind, soul & health.
