He is strong off his legs and through the covers and his favourite shot is the [[Batting (cricket)|pull shot]].<br />
<br />
==School times==<br />
He was born and lives in Kenya but has British nationality. Since Kenya is only an associate member of the [[International Cricket Council|ICC]], Waters is also eligible to play for England. He was educated at [[Cranleigh School]], England and captained the first XI cricket side for two years, playing alongside [[Stuart Meaker]]. In his last season at Cranleigh School, he finished with almost 900 runs.<br />

<br />

<br />
==International career==<br />
In October 2008 he was called into the Kenyan Cricket team, and made an immediate impression, scoring 75 against Ireland in the Intercontinental Cup at the [[Nairobi Gymkhana Club|Gymkhana]] in Nairobi, and more recently 74 against South Africa at Kimberley in a full [[One Day International]] (ODI).<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cricket-online.org/player.php?player_id=69497 |title=Archived copy |accessdate=2008-11-03 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110717055031/http://www.cricket-online.org/player.php?player_id=69497 |archivedate=2011-07-17 }}</ref><br />
