Leicester: A week after his older brother Sam made his maiden Test hundred for England against Sri Lanka, Angus Robson showed centuries run in the family by reaching three figures for Leicestershire against India on Saturday.
India's bowlers were given the run-around by Robson (126) and Greg Smith (101) in a second-wicket stand of 221 before both retired at tea, that took Leicestershire to 349 for five before a draw was agreed on the final day of three at Grace Road.
The one consolation for India was that if ever there was game to get the rust out of the system, this was probably it, as they had already declared on 333 for four on the first day of the opening game of their tour before rain washed out the second.
Experienced seamer Ishant Sharma, set to be a key member of India's attack in the upcoming five-Test series with England, saw 41 runs scored off his first four wicketless overs, a spell that included six no-balls.
India captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, used all seven Test seam-bowling options in his squad of 18, as well as spinners Ravindra Jadeja and R Ashwin, to little avail as the hosts closed on 349 for five in reply to 333 for four declared in this rain-ravaged stalemate.
The tourists declined to publicly discuss the collective performance of their rusty bowlers, and do not intend to give any interviews either during their second warm-up match, against Derbyshire.
The 22-year-old Angus Robson, watched by his Australia-born father and English-born mother Rosamunde, as was Sam at Headingley, gave his parents a fresh reason to be glad they didn't go home to Sydney after their older son's disappointing Test debut at Lord's.
The Leicestershire opener was quickly into his work with all of his 11 boundaries in a run-a-ball 50 coming off Bhuvneshwar Kumar with the new ball. He carried on in similar fashion to race to a hundred in just 102 balls with 20 fours.
But the only downside for the Robson clan was that Angus was denied a maiden first-class hundred for Leicestershire when India stripped the match of its status by opting to use all 18 members of their squad, while only batting 11.
India's bowlers will look for an improved performance in their second and final warm-up fixture against Derbyshire before the first Test at Trent Bridge starting on July 9.
