Bowling over 600 balls in each of 3 Tests, including 89 8-ball overs in the first Test (equivalent to nearly 115 6-ball overs) and 78.3 in the second and 79 in the fifth. All this on rock hard ground, with a festering big toe in such bad condition the doctors thought it would have to be amputated.

Bah, pedantry.
As I said when I nominated it, it's not so much a moment as a sustained performance to rank with the greatest of all time.

Yeah, was a little disappointed with only 8 voters for the last battle considering people were complaining about the lack of "older moments". By which time the weekend arrived, the Test was in full flow and I was hungover/playing football.
It'll run it's course though

Well an entire innings isn't really a moment either, or an entire spell. We'd be limited to individual balls and catches.

Yeah, I know, which is why I've voted for innngs or spells in this thread. Also, these things can at least be thought of as a single act, so to speak. I just thought an entire series was pushing the word "moment" too far.
