Will Twenty/20 cricket change test match cricket?

Will Twenty/20 cricket change test match cricket batting? Watching some strokes in the current Boxing Day test between Australia and India, I watched stand-in Australian captain Steve Smith attempting to push the run rate along playing strokes more accustomed to the short form of the game. This also brought on his demise at the crease at 192, a pretty handy score attempting to play a shot on the stumps normally reserved for the the last over in the shortest form of the game instead of a test match on day 2.

At the other end of the spectrum, Indian batsmen Virat Kohli (162) and Ajinkya Rahane (147) played with a more traditional batting style. As a matter of course, the Indian batsmen generally have solid batting techniques. Rahane came to the crease with Kohli holding a 26 run head start, playing aggressively, Rahane overtook Kohli in the 80s to beat him to triple figures and ended the day with a strike rate of nearly 86 - pretty good stuff.
