For the start
We were having final of Ramadhan Tournament. I was fielding at long on which was the longest boundary about 50-60 meters. The batsmen played a flat batted shot, really very powerful, it reached me one bounce in a flash, right in my hands. So i immediately threw back at bowlers end with full force and the guy is run out. No one could beleive that a person wud be run out after sending the ball to long on boundary, but he played it too damn well for his own good.
Great idea!
Stood as an umpire in a league game two weeks ago (more entertainment than playing it). At one point, batsman had nicked an edge that could be heard for miles. Keeper half-heartedly appealed, bowlers and fielders went up in a frenzy. Batsman stood his ground and gave me back a quick look and then looked away in the distance. Finally raised my finger in disgust and the batsman left his ground, swearing loudly at the decision.
When their turn came to field, the batsman in the above picture was the first bowler. He came, gave me his hat, smiled and apologized for his behavior. I cheerfully accepted with no regrets and asked him his opinion on his decision. He said he knew he was out and that it was wrong of him to stand his ground. I added that he should have walked in the spirit of the game.
Not exactly under the heading of an amazing moment, but a moment amongst moments, nonetheless.
Also, it would be good to differentiate if yours was with a tape-ball encounter or with a hard/cork ball. The above was a match played with a hard-ball.

not an amazing moment, but one i remember.
i was a bad cricketer, the only thing i did well was spin the ball miles. however it was useless because i had very little control, and i was just as surprised as the batsment when it landed on the pitch.
we were having a match in colonial stadium (so called because it was inside a gym's courtyard and it had spotlights. i landed four balls either pitching on leg and spinning way off, sometimes almost wide or the other way round (my two stock balls). the batsman was getting exasperated. the 'umpire' who was also my teams captain said bowl him a straight one hes playing for the spin. i tried it and bafazle Khuda it turned out to be a fast yorker, which shattered his stumps and made him stumble just as he made an exasperated advance down the pitch, much like my fellow equally talented collegue, Waqar Younus, felled Lara.
After that I was the toast of colonial stadium for a few days.

1994-95
I was at that time student of FSc in Asgar Mall College , Rawalpindi.
My friends asked me to stop playing cricket as in couple of months time we had our final exams. I said OK this is my last match before our exams.
Normally I used to start bowling for my team and used to bat on Nr. 6 or 7.
We won the toss and decided to bat first and Cap. asked me to open the inning. i said okay, lets today have some fun with batting also :) so i played well and i got out in 4th over but i had already socred 50 runs by that time :D , dont know how i did that , was never good to play on off side but i did score some runs on off side too.
.
.
.
.
then in bowling, in last over, they needed 8 runs and Cap. asked me to bowl.
first ball : 4 runs :(
2nd : wicket
3rd : wicket
4th : wide
4th : no run
5th : no run
6th : 2 runs
and we won! :)

Finger-spinner here 
In tape ball 8-over games I really enjoy bowling to most batsmen as they would just try to smash every ball out of ground and totally miss it even if I pitch it at same spot every time (though sometimes I’d spin less and sometimes more) 
The batsmen’s frustration is worth seeing.
But there was one time when I was bowling to a batsman who would be the last person to be selected when making teams but behind the wickets was a smart-arse bowler/batsman who knew my bowling well and as soon as ball left my hands the keeper would tell the batsman what to do (it was not a “match” rather single-wicket type situation) and he smashed 4 sixes 
In most situations this same batsman would cry if he knew I was the bowler 
Re: Share Amazing cricket Moments
In a recent league Twenty20 group game, I went into bat with three runs to win and only one ball remaining. I took guard and told the non-striker that we need to keep running once the ball is delivered and played. The right arm spinner started his run-up and bowled a good length flighted ball.... I drove it through the covers between the short cover and deep extra covers fielder. We started running as we turned for the second run, the ball crossed over the boundary and all my teammates rushed into the ground and carried me on their shoulders...this was a win against a very solid team.
I have many more to share...another day may be.

Re: Share Amazing cricket Moments
We were playing a night match in our gali (remember those?) and the bulb fell out of its sockets and fell...at least 15 feet on solid concrete floor. It went dark and we obviously thought it would have broken. It HADNT!!!! Not only that....we plugged it back in..and guess what it still worked. This happened more than a decade ago but we still recall it fondly whenever i go to pak!
Re: Share Amazing cricket Moments
Of the umpiring decisions
We were playing an interclass match, the batsmen is bowled, middle stump uprooted but somehow the bails were tsuck to each other and did not come off. The batsman starts walking but umpire calls him back saying, coz the bails are not dislodged its not out!
