London, Sept 6 (PTI) Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane on Thursday blamed the Indian team’s much-vaunted batting line-up’s failure to complement the bowlers for their Test series defeat in England. India were repeatedly bowled out during the Test series as England grabbed an unassailable 3-1 lead with the fifth and final Test starting here at the Oval on Friday. “Patience is the key in England, whether you bat or bowl. You got to bowl in the same areas for a longer period of time....
Pure politics helps explain why the White House has long been expected to ban federal funding for research on stem cells extracted from human embryos. The Roman Catholic Church hierarchy has vigorously opposed the procedure as a violation of the sanctity of life.

Yep, that’s how bad the Raiders and 49ers have been so far. When they meet in Santa Clara, California, on Thursday night, how much of the nation will show interest is problematic. How much the folks by the bay and its environs would care is debatable. The 49ers (1-7) are ranked 31st in the AP Pro32, ahead of only the Raiders (1-6). San Francisco is a 3-point favorite over its neighbor....
Increasingly, though, the battle for the soul of Indonesia looks to be painted in shades of green–the flags of militant Islamists versus the camouflage of the Army. “The government’s weakness is breeding radicals,” says Ulil Abshar-Abdalla, head of a moderate Muslim group. That’s true on both sides: without effective civilian leadership, the debate over which kind of country Indonesia should be is slowly being ceded to fire-breathing fundamentalists and their opponents in the military....

Club spokesman Josep Vives told a news conference that the return was €13m more than Barca’s projected figure. At the end of the 12-month period, Barcelona recorded a profit of €18m after tax, while debt has been reduced by €24.5m to €247m.

Talking to AS, Pedro said, “I don’t know [if I’ll stay]....
The Argentine attacker limped off just short of the half-hour mark as Barca beat Almeria 2-0 in La Liga on Saturday and will be sidelined for around two to three weeks, the Camp Nou outfit later revealed. "For any team in the world it would be difficult to replace Messi," coach Gerardo Martino told reporters ahead of Tuesday's game. Sporting director Andoni Zibizarreta, however, was more upbeat. "We will cope without him," the Basque predicted....
The highly decorated Spaniard is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to don Blaugrana’s colors, having made 696 appearances so far. Busquets has also contributed 18 goals and 42 assists while functioning as one of the best defensive pivots in Europe during his stay at Camp Nou. Despite his status at the club and Xavi Hernandez’s desire to keep him for another season, it looks unlikely that the Spaniard will remain at the club beyond this summer....

Morata was offered a better package by the Blaugrana, who contacted the player’s camp in order to initiate a move. The striker would have earned €15 million per season at Camp Nou while the current La Liga leaders were willing to shell out €100 million (£84 million) as the transfer fee, more than what Chelsea offered. However, Morata did not want to play as a backup again, this time for Luis Suarez, and opted to move to Chelsea, where he is the first-choice striker now....

The Giants will also be without tight end Evan Engram, the team’s leading receiver (373 yards), who is dealing with a sprained MCL. Receiver Sterling Shepard, in the league’s concussion protocol for the second time this season, is also out, along with running back Wayne Gallman, Barkley’s top back-up who is missing for the same reason. The injuries leave New York (2-3) short-handed against the league’s top-ranked defense, an undesirable scenario for rookie quarterback Daniel Jones’ first meeting with undefeated New England (5-0)....
