Nasser Hussain believes the heated exchange that followed Jos Buttlers dismissal in the second ODI will fire England up for Wednesdays series decider. Bangladesh won by 34 runs in Dhaka to level the series at 1-1 with the confrontation between the stand-in England skipper and the Bangladesh fielders giving the latter stages of the game an extra edge.Having been given out lbw on review, Buttler was making his way off the field before he turned back, apparently incensed by a comment from a Bangladesh player during their exuberant celebrations. The umpires stepped in and a visibly furious Buttler trudged off, although the incident appeared not to have been forgotten as Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow were involved in another spat with some of the home players as the teams shook hands at the end of the match.I saw it as a captain who is trying to win the game for his team, who has been quite brilliant out here and, in the heat of battle, these things happen, Hussain told Sky Sports.Its all well and good sitting up in an air-conditioned commentary box or in a studio or sat at home to be very calm about these things. But in 90 per cent humidity, 38 degree heat, when youve kept all day, youre batting, youre trying to win a game that you are losing and then someone gives you a send-off…The former England captain believes the incident shows the character of the current side and their determination to succeed. Nick Knight and Nasser Hussain discuss the second ODI between and its implications on the final match on Wednesday He probably pushed the limit and went over the top but Id rather have a captain like that, who cared and gave it absolutely everything, Hussain added.Yes, he probably pushed the limits, as Ben Stokes did at the end there, but weve got a side out here who are absolutely caring. This is not a side thinking oh shall we just pop over to Bangladesh and get it done and dusted. Theyre thinking lets go to Bangladesh and try to win. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Youve also got the atmosphere and the hostile nature of the crowd - sometimes things do boil over. Ive never seen that from Jos, hes so calm, hes so calculated and its nice to see that hes got a different side although sometimes he may have to rein it in.Hussain expects that there will now be repercussions though with match referee Javagal Srinath likely to examine the situation. Buttler is ushered away by the umpires following the confrontation I dont think [the match referee] has to get involved but I think he will get involved because its the captain and in the laws of the game, the captain is in charge of the spirit of the game, he said.Its one thing being given a send-off as most batsmen in the world have been given at some stage, its another thing walking back into a huddle, walking back towards a player. So match referee Srinath will have a look at the situation and the situation at the end with Ben Stokes. Javagal Srinath will be a busy man this evening.What punishments, if any, will be handed out remains to be seen but England can ill-afford to lose Buttler or Stokes, according to Hussain. However, he also argues that the altercation could prove a key motivating factor for the tourists going into the third ODI.The last thing England need is either Stokes or Buttler in any kind of trouble, Hussain added. [But] it could fire England up. At 1-1 Bangladesh will be up for it and England will be up for it now.You can watch Englands tour of Bangladesh, plus Premier League football and the British Masters on Sky Sports.

TORONTO -- Portland Timbers captain Will Johnson capped off a career year Thursday by being named Canadas male soccer player of the year. The Toronto-born midfielder was voted to the MLS All-Star Fan XI team and named to Major League Soccer Best XI after leading the Timbers to a first-place finish in MLSs Western Conference with a 14-5-15 record. In his first year in the Pacific Northwest after five seasons with Real Salt Lake, the 26-year-old set MLS career marks in goals (9), assists (5), points (23) and minutes played (5,250). He played the full 90 minutes in all 28 regular-season appearances. Johnson called it a year "of coming into my own." "I loved having that responsibility of leading this group," he said of being given the captains armband by coach Caleb Porter. "It was a welcomed challenge for me, something I just really got excited about and it just gave me a passion to excel and take my game to the next level." Johnsons hard-nosed play and leadership won admirers around the league, with Toronto FC casting envious eyes at him during the season. He is the 14th winner of the award and the third from MLS ranks, following Dwayne De Rosario and Pat Onstad. Atiba Hutchinson was runner-up in voting by Canadian media, coaches and clubs. Midfielders Patrice Bernier of the Montreal Impact and Russell Teibert of the Vancouver Whitecaps were third and fourth, respectively. On the national team front, Johnson was part of Canadas CONCACAF Gold Cup squad but was sent home early due to illness. He had one assist in three appearances for Canada, with club duties restricting his time with the national team. Johnson said he looks forward to spending more time with the Canadian team, which is in a period of transition under new coach Benito Flores. Born to English parents, Johnson holds Canadian, American and English citizenship. He moved to England as an infant and then came to the Chicago arrea at the age of 10.dddddddddddd After spending 2005 with the Chicago Fire, he went to Europe where he played for Heerenveen and De Graafschap in the Netherlands. Johnson says he is enjoying Portland and MLS but would be open to the right opportunity. "Id love to stay here, Im very happy here but Im not tied down here for too long so well see," he told a media conference call. "I do feel I have the quality to play in Europe but I also have a young family now." he added. "It has to be the right situation. Going to Scandinavia does not interest me. Top leagues in Europe would interest me but other than that, at my age with a young family, MLS is a great league. I very much enjoy playing here, I enjoy being an ambassador for the league. I love being part of the growth of this league. "So it would have to be something very special to entice me to leave a league I very much enjoy playing in." After beating archrival Seattle, Portland lost to Real Salt Lake in the Western Conference final. Real Salt Lake also ousted the Timbers in the semifinal of the U.S. Open Cup. "Weve got to take that next step now," Johnson said of Portland. "We set the platform and the minimum requirements that we all expect out of ourselves. I think that hunger will translate over to next year. "On a positive note, we now have guys who have played in the playoffs, have won a playoff series, have experienced what its like to get in there ... This will not be an acceptable season next year, thats for sure. The bars been set." Canadas female player of the year will be announced Friday with national team captain Christine Sinclair a favourite to claim the award for a 10th straight year and 11th overall. Dylan Carreiro and Kadeisha Buchanan were earlier named under-20 players of the year. Marco Carducci and Sura Yekka took under-17 honours. The awards are sponsored by BMO. ' ' '
