Yes I agree with the above M, but why exacerbate the matter with Test players having to stretch and chuck themselves about in the frantic 20/20 game?.

Well M, I would rather players make a choice between either playing in the new frantic matches, or concentrating on the their Test cricket - I see a split between the two formats.
Can you really see Flintoff or even Shoaib being able to compete in 20/20 with their injury track records, and if they tried - how long would they last?.
I would have more time for 20/20 if it was a sport in it's own right, with it's own players and managers - I think that's the sencible way to go.
