No, there have been several more exciting IMO, but it was a good one.
My favourites are:
the Australia-England game that England (1980s ?) won by 3 runs after a long last wicket partnership by the Aussies with a catch at slip that was dropped by one slip and caught by another running behind him (Chris Tavare and Geoff Miller I think).
The 2005 ashes test that england won by 2 runs that produced the iconic Andrew Flintoff/Brett Lee photo.
Headingley 1981.
The first tied test.

That was a fantastic test. I had to leave for training before seeing the final result, but it was shaping up nicely at 150/8. Everyone was talking about how the game was over with India eight down, but as soon as it was mentioned that Laxman was still in and on about 40-odd, the team was buzzing about a potential steal by India. Awesome to see that this eventuated!
Unfortunately we don't get much coverage from India in NZ, so I wasn't that excited until the end.
Even though the margin was large, the most exciting match I watched was NZ vs England at Christchurch in 2002.

Fantastic century on the opening day by Hussain on a bowler's dream pitch, though the Kiwis getting scythed through by Hoggard's swing was a bit disappointing. Freddie and Thorpe going ballistic until it all seemed lost... but wait, Astle's ridiculous six-a-minute double! When Cairns joined him and stuck around for a long time, the dream remained alive. Wasn't to be in the end, but what a game.
