A Correct answer
Explanation

The eight-ball over was experimentally tried in English cricket in 1939. This was an attempt to speed up the game and increase scoring rates. The experiment was short-lived due to World War II interrupting cricket, and the standard six-ball over remained the norm. Some variants continue with eight balls today, but 1939 was the key trial period in England.
