when did 'five-for' become official cricketspeak for five wickets?

Have been watching cricket for years and don't remember it ever being used. Until the last year or two, when it seems to have been everywhere, and people even now talk about three-fors etc

Did I just miss it for all those years? Or did we nick it from the Aussies recently or something?
