Under The Southern Cross I Stand Lyrics – Australian Team Song

The Australian cricket team’s traditional victory song, “Under the Southern Cross I Stand Lyrics,” is sung in a spirited chant after Test match wins. Written by former captain Steve Waugh and inspired by Banjo Paterson’s poem, it celebrates national pride and team unity beneath the Southern Cross constellation. The team gathers in a circle, led by a player who often passes a symbolic item like the baggy green cap to a standout teammate. Treated with deep respect, this ritual strengthens camaraderie and marks moments of triumph.
