In 1996 Brian Gilbertson sang both the Australian and Sri Lankan National Anthems at the Australia Day Test match at Adelaide Oval. It was the first time a visiting national anthem was sung at a sporting event on Australia day. This practice is now a tradition. The weekend Australian reported “..his performance saw the Sri Lankan cricketers jump to attention....a Sri Lankan fan hugged him, saying his attempt was ‘better than I can do and I can speak the language.”
