What goes through your mind when singing the national anthem? If all you can think about is touching someone's butt, then you may have something in common with Australian cricketer, Usman Khawaja.

The batsman was caught on camera being rather close with rookie bowler Adam Zampa, who got a bit of a touch-up as they were singing the Australian national anthem before a match against New Zealand in Wellington Saturday.

Khawaja later played down the intimate massage, telling people on Twitter he had no idea the cameras were filming from behind. "It was all consensual," claimed Khawaja, "just a joke with the debutant." Very cheeky.

@MiguelDSouza @zamps63 haha it was all consensual. Just having a joke with the debutant. #playon— Usman Khawaja (@Uz_Khawaja) February 10, 2016
