With the depth we have, no reason to carry Guptill I don't think. Looking at his scores, he's only had 1 50+ score in 2 years. Horribly out of touch in T20s.

Better for him to have made 10 off 7 IMO. Especially at Eden Park Outer Oval which is basically backyard cricket.and not really.

Nice team. I'm hoping for this:
Seifert +
Allen
Williamson (c)
Conway
Phillips
Neesham
Santner
Jamieson
Southee
Boult
Milne
Munro
Chapman
Sodhi
Change Milne for Ferguson and you've got my team.

I would have had Ferguson, but he's injured isn't he?

I'd add in Williamson, Boult, Ferguson etc. for the actual T20 WC, but might as well play some others who have performed well in super smash to see if they have what it takes on the international stage

Yeah I agree. They'll probably pick different teams for each T20 though like they did for the Pakistan series won't they. As it's 5 T20s it gives us plenty of chances to try players out.
I'd love to see us get a North Island and South Island team in the Big Bash.

Would be awesome if we see some sort of Super Rugby-style cricket competition.They could run a mini tournament at the end of the Super Smash / Big Bash for the top two in each competition to get a trans-Tasman winner
Could be called the Super Bash or the Big Smash or the Super Big Smash Bash
That's a good idea too re a mini-tournament.
Here would be my teams for the Big Bash if it were possible, avoiding players that are in and around the Test team in NZ conditions. Struggling to fill the final positions and not picking too many from one team.
North Island (Auckland, ND, Wellington)
1. Finn
2. Seifert +
3. Ravindra
4. Phillips
5. Neesham (De Grandhomme and Mitchell ahead of him)
6. O'Donnell (Rob)
7.
8. Kuggeleijn
9. Sommerville
10. Van Beek
11. Bennett
South Island (CD, Canterbury, Otago)
1. Worker
2. Broom
3. Clarkson
4. McConchie
5. Fletcher +
6. Bracewell
7. Rippon
8. Astle
9.
10. Duffy
11. Tickner

An NZ team or teams in the big bash is literally my worst nightmare in life. Why destroy the awesome entertaining super smash we have, which is probably similar quality and gives way more players a go?

Whatever it takes!!!
It does not have to be an either/or though, does it?

Well given the length of the big bash, what would be the point of having a super smash when the top 15-30 players (depending on 1-2 teams) aren't there for the majority of it? And then international players gone as well, it would be so diluted there would be no point.
Either that or they would have to go back to running it in November which IIRC was a disaster.
