Bracken said the introduction of ball boys would speed the game up even further with players not required to chase the ball over the rope.

"Because you're on a tight schedule, an hour and 15 (minutes) to bowl your overs, if you can get some kids out there to be a part of the game on the boundary and basically get the ball it would make it that little bit quicker," he said.

"It would make it a little bit more exciting for the crowd and gives the fielding side more of a chance to get through their overs."

Good idea, or utter laziness?
