Absolutely. But while retaining a winning team we need to be careful of non-performers who might get a free ride in the team just because the team is on a winning streak (hope we get onto one now ;)). This might prevent deserving candidates from getting a look in on the long run. Classic cases in point being Marvan Atapattu ignored by SL in WC 2007 and Anil Kumble kept out of the all important final in WC 2003. We all know the results in both cases.

They just need to ensure that team selection doesn't get based on superstitions of winning combinations on the long run :)
