The Gatting ball is pretty hard to go past, not only for what a cracker of a delivery it was, the quality of the player it beat, but also because of the stage, the fact it was the first ball by Warne in Ashes in England, and of course Gatting's reaction.
Maybe the bouncer legend has Spoffoth putting through Dr Grace's beard on its way to the keeper during the game that saw the birth of the Ashes?

1.the Gatting ball
2.the strauss ball
3.the ball that Murali bowled to Dhoni
4.the jaw-dropping yorkers that Akhtar bowled to Tendulkar & Dravid in Kolkatta along with his fantastic delivery to bowl Ponting in the super-challenge 2 series in 2002.
5.Flintoff's delivery to Ponting at Edgbaston,
6.McGrath ball to Lara here at OT in the 99 WC,
7.Warne's ball to Gibbs in the 99 WC

The best I've seen was the Warne flipper to Stewart in the 94-95 Ashes.

Agree with this.deeps said:
Another Pakistani classic was Wasim to Dravid in Chennai (can't remember when).
He set him up with a beaut inswinger that was plumb but not given, followed it up with a fantastic outswinger that started outside leg and took the top of off stump.
