I think 50-over cricket is dying a slow death. Cricket will soon be composed of just Tests and T20s

I really doubt 50 over cricket is dying a slow death, its still really popular in all the major cricket nations. T20 was "created" so that cricket isn't labeled as a boring-all day game and to spread it throughtout the world, it has gotten popular no doubt but ODI's have been the heart and soul for cricket lovers for many many years and it will continue to do so. T20's are awesome to watch on an IPL level where all you do is just come in and smash every ball but there is something magical in a well paced innings by a batsman where they take thier time to settle in and can play cricket strokes.
Having said that, T20 World Cup is great way for the associates to make a name for themselves against the major cricket nations and it does yield some unexpected results which is good for the game.
