Guptill, really? is he even playing this season and has he scored any runs? You would drop Flynn for Fulton? Big call!
The only change I see is maybe Bell/McIntosh coming in for Remond. Maybe a change around with the batting order but I really think that Ryder, Taylor and Flynn with Oram and McCullum at 6 and 7 is the best line up we have.
I wouldn't drop OBrien either, top wicket taker in the Aussie series and has had a pretty good year in the whites. While it would be good to lengthen the batting order I think you should pick bowlers to bowl, in saying that though it wouldn't surprise me if Franklin played ahead of Southee
