Richard Dawson and Marlon Samuels (without the suspect quicker-ball in the former's case)

Yup. Studied Waqar during the 1992 tour, having been an utterly ineffective county bowler up until that season. In 1993 he bore the fruits of his labour, using both conventional and reverse swing to bowl far better than ever, and never looked back.

I have no doubt he paid attention to Waqar in 92 but I dont think modelled himself, actionwise, on Waqar as such. The 1993 reference you mention had far more to do with Richie Richardson compared to Waqar.
