Laxman is a very good player of spin and pace bowling. He can handle the pace of Shoaib and Lee without much difficulty. If you analyse, of late, all his test hundreds have been match-winning ones. Even his century against pakistan in the Lahore ODI of 2004 was a match-winning one. If Waugh suggested that his 281 was made in a pitch that was made for batting, then why did all other batsmen fail(including Waugh). That means the other batsmen are nothing but useless. Laxman is one of India's greatest test batsmen but not suited for ODIs.
