Absolutley. Who cares what his economy rate was like when he takes a wicket every 23 runs? A captain would love a bowler to take a wicket every 23 runs even if he went at 5 an over. This is test cricket, not ODIs! If everyone took wickets at 23, you would win a lot of test matches. To bring his economy rate into a question of Waqar's greatness as a test bowler is irrelevant. Eevn considering guys like McGrath and Pollock, to look at their economy rates would be wrong. They take wickets at an average of 21-22. That is what makes them great.
