Stan McCabe and Don Bradman scoring centuries in the Bodyline series should have got a mention.

The 2015 World Cup final didn't need to be mentioned twice. Australia's mens and women's teams winning a World Cup on home soil is nothing more than just taking care of business.
 
Allan Border's 150* and 153 at Lahore in 1980. Only time a batsmen has scored 150+ in both innings of a test match. He batted at 6 in both innings as well.

Didn’t he make 100no and 98no against the windies away in their prime when Australia was playing its b side due to World Series cricket?
 
Skull has the distinction of only being involved in ordinary events on the cricket ground, but the extraordinary in the commentary box.

Without question he has provided some of the more extraordinary moments of Test Cricket. He is the only person I cannot consume food or booze while listening to, lest I start snorfelling.

Lillee bowls Richards to have Windies 4/10 at stumps on Boxing Day, 1981. With the Kim Hughes brilliant century earlier on the day, it rounded off an amazing day of cricket.

Ian Chappell rates that century from Hughes as one of the very best he's seen. It was an amazing knock against Holding, Roberts, Garner and Croft on a wicket that was doing plenty. 100 not out in a total of 198 was a fair effort after walking in at 3/8.
