In England, the threat is not directly against international cricket - it's against the four day domestic game, which attracts crowds measured in dozens rather than thousands. The problem will be if the Twenty20 format somehow overtakes the four day game: the death of test cricket will follow from that. The connection is just as direct, but there is one more link in the chain.
