When Barney Vokes, the hopeless romantic comes up to bat in the game of love he finds that there are a few googlies coming his way. Humility, hubris and hand/eye co-ordination all play a part in being the man of the match.

When his old flame re-appears he is sure he can rekindle the feeling of love. Joan has her eye set on the outfield and it looks like Barney is the way to get there. Put a Greek family into the mix, plus a cousin called Rosa and Barney's troubles just doubled.

What he thinks he wants, what he really wants and what he eventually discovers is that

love is a bit more complicated than cricket.

Reviews for Barney's Test: A witty romantic comedy

Ashwin's trademark humour will have you cheering on the hapless Barney as he pursues the love of his life, finding along the way that sometimes what you wish for is a very dangerous thing. With a colourful cast of characters, including an extended Greek family, BARNEY'S TEST, captivated me from the painful opening scene to the rollicking ending when Barney's perseverance pays off - although not necessarily in the way I expected!
