"Winning Combination" means free rides for the "non performing" selectors and players. Since the team won somehow, the selectors can now eat Indian or Chinese Buffet or Goat Biriyani and take an 18 hour sleep. Thanks to "winning combination" there is no need to find backup or alternate "performing and capable" players, no need to plan for any backup resources like pacer/batsmen hunt, instead allow free rides for non performers for the cost of the true performers...

It also means the selectors are not smart enough to realize every game is different based on the opposition. New player lineups/skillsets are needed based on the opposition/condition strength etc...

It is hard work to do opposition homework...but why put extra effort? Thats why the salary of the players and the selectors/coaches should be performance based. When that happens then you will see how hard everbody works!
