    That was very ironic, eh?

    We speak proper English here in Canada - use of eh's and aboots and hosers abound.

    Last season during an international Cricket telecast I just about fell off my chair when I heard not one but two of the Channel 9 commentators repeatedly urge our batsmen to "step up to the plate"


    Mate I could barely believe it - talk about a cultural sell out! To add final insult to injury they did it during a Test Match too
