What does "For mine" mean? I noticed cricket commentators start to use the term 5 years ago. Have never heard anyone in real life use it. I asked my mother who has a degree in English and spent 20 years teaching English at high school and she has no idea of where the phrase comes from and hadn't heard of it.
It is a new millenium expression? Serious question. Would very much like to know.

Still irks me hearing Aussies use “hey” in the place of “eh” at the end of a sentence- still better than Using “but” but not by muchCanadians use "eh" even more than we do at the end of a sentence. Saves a question mark I guess eh?
in England it would be "We was in the hunt until they scored all them points."I've heard "for mine" used plenty of times outside of league circles so its a fairly common term in the English vocabulary.
What I cant understand with league players is why "those" often gets replaced with "them". Such as "We were in the hunt until they scored all them points."
