Finn Allen has to be one of the names you scribbled down for the Black Caps T20 side — surely.
The Wellington opener has been in sublime form in the Super Smash.
He had scored nearly 500 runs leading into today's final and plundered those runs at a strike rate of almost 200.
That is unheard-of success and and he shouldn’t be left out of the 13-strong squad for the series against Australia.
But stranger things have happened.
Devon Conway cannot get a run in the test side and he has been brilliant for years, whereas Allen is a newcomer.
The 21-year-old has scored 87 in a one-dayer against India A last year though, so he has performed at a higher level and his brilliance has been obvious.
But if he makes the squad, who doesn't?
Martin Guptill perhaps?
The selectors have shown some willingness to jettison experienced players.
Ross Taylor was left out of the T20 squad for the series against Pakistan. Is Guptill next?
The 34-year-old right-hander is nowhere near the top of his game and could only make the squad based on previous form.
But that previous form has been pretty special and it would not be a surprise if he gets an opportunity to play his way out of a slump.
The other big question surrounding the top order is will Kane Williamson play a full part in the series.
He has been nursing an elbow complaint.
Williamson was talking tough last week and declared he would be fit. But he has a lot of important cricket ahead of him this year.
If he skips a game or two the world would not implode. And it would free up space which would allow for both Guptill and Allen to play, or perhaps Taylor could be brought back to bolster the experience.
Whatever the outcome, Tim Seifert, Conway and Glenn Phillips have cemented their spots in the batting order.
Conway is averaging 58 in six games, Phillips clobbered a century against the West Indies recently and Seifert has been dynamic with the bat and has improved with the gloves.
The next question for the selectors is whether all-rounder Jimmy Neesham has done enough to keep his starting spot ahead of the returning Colin de Grandhomme and the in-form Daryl Mitchell.
There is probably room for two but not three of them in the squad.
The bowling line-up is easier to pick.
Ink in Kyle Jamieson, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, while Scott Kuggeleijn will continue to keep a seat warm on the bus until Lockie Ferguson recovers from an injury.
Otago's Jacob Duffy made a stunning international debut in game one against Pakistan but is in a long queue. Provincial team-mate and wrist spinner Michael Rippon will have to continue waiting as well.
Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner are the preferred slow bowling options and Canterbury's Todd Astle is the back-up.
