Has there been 8 balls to an over in cricket ever?

Assuming that test matches went for the same time (not necessarily starting at 10:30 or 11:00 and going to 5:30 or 6:00, but lasting for seven hours), in an uninterrupted days play, we can calculate how many eight ball overs were bowled in a day.

This question will give varying answers. Teams either move faster or slower through their overs depending on whether they bowl spin bowlers or pace bowlers, and how many wides or no balls are bowled. For the calculation, lets assume they bowled the equivalent of 90 six ball overs, thirty per session.

90 six ball overs means a total of 540 balls bowled throughout the day. If they bowled in eight ball overs, then the number of overs would be 540/8, which is 67.4 overs, halfway through the 68th over.
