I've never even heard of Athlone Castle.
It's a cricket question
Obviously
Is it something to do with the play to the finish test with the Saffers?
Yes :D
It's the name of the boat.... I had to look it up though, I would never have got it tbh

Indeed
I think it was day 15 of the test, the last timeless test played I think.
