as usual, the pundits who organise these lists are out of step with the cricketing public.
EDIT: apparently the original list is in chronological order, not order of importance. still a few memorable moments missing though

 

[GROTTO]

Won the series against NZ.

Won the series against NZ.

Nice of Greg to throw his brother under the bus

 

[The hands of stone]

Surely this

 

[Cleavy]

no room for Dean Jones' double ton; or the Bevan 4 on New Years vs the Windies? odd!

 

[The hands of stone]

This guy taking 7/44 to roll England at the Oval in 1882 .
Birth of the Ashes , without him who knows what happens .
Huge moment and event in Australian and cricket in general

 

[PhatBoy]

Nathan Hauritz bowling the first ball to go into space against the West Indies at Perth surely gets a mention

 

[Santana]

1999 World Cup win

Next

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.

The Gatting ball?

Waugh’s 4 off the last ball of the day for his 100 comes to mind too.

 

[Cursed Cat]

AB's 98 + 100 @ Port-of-Spain.

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.

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?

 

[damochandler]

They have severely underrated the 87 World Cup win, it was in the sub continent with a team that was only just starting to build. The 99 World Cup matches on the list are way too low on both

Narrowed it down to two:

As ever, I love your work.

 

[Grand Uncle Horace]

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.

 

[Gough]

Might not be the greatest moment but the first morning of the Test against India after Phillip Hughes died was like nothing I've ever been to before.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

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.

 

[GROTTO]

Definitely one of the greatest moments in Australian Cricket off the field.
