With less than a day before his final match, what are some memorable moments from his career?
With most of the talk understandably being about his batting, and also his captaincy, over the last few days I want to use this opportunity to reminisce about another aspect of his game - wicket keeping. He's served with distinction as wicket keeper in probably 75% of the games he's played, including one Test match where he captained, kept wicket and batted at number three!
But my favourite wicket keeping moment has to be when he stumped Symonds at the ICC World Twenty20 in 2007. It was a really sharp bit of work, where he waited for a split second as Symonds lost balance, and then whipped off the bails - textbook stumping.
What is one of your memorable BT moments? (doesn't have to be wicket keeping related, I just went down that route for something a bit different)

Last ball 6 to beat BD in 06 was a great moment .......
Hundreds in both innings against BD in 13 was also a highlight .......

Another moment which stands out is when Taylor caught Shakib at slip with a good low catch during the 4th innings of our comeback Test. I thought it was fitting that our best player caught the wicket of their best player - sealing the game. Both were captain in that match too if I recall correctly.
