I'm sure that the 'ordinary attacks' helped Waugh. But by the same token an average of 25 over 30 innings indicates that Walters had technical deficiencies under English conditions. That is, I don't think that he coped well with 'side-ways movement' and lower bounce.
After all, not every Australian batsman from the 1960s-70s ended up with an average of only 25 after playing in England.
