I think it's obvious that the current batting standards of almost every single country aren't up to Test match standards as we know today.

That is not going to change. The batters are spending more time practicing their limited formats batting. The technique is there but the generations have changed where there is no temperament or patience for Test matches. Again, it's unlikely to change. You may get that odd batter every now and then, but overall that won't happen.

The balance between bat and ball in T20 is skewed towards batsman and in Tests, it's the other way.

I think something needs to change realistically, otherwise, this is going to bring a quicker end to Test matches.
