Josh Hazlewood has expressed his desire to see Peter Siddle chosen as Australias third seamer for the WACA Test against South Africa, which starts from November 3, amid talk that a strong first-class record in Perth may play in favour of the potential debutant paceman Joe Mennie.On what the Australians ardently hope will be a more lively WACA surface than the strip that led to a dull draw against New Zealand last summer, Hazlewood said he wanted to be able to partner with Siddle, who has returned to the fold for the first time since February, when he broke down with a back stress fracture.Despite a sterling record both individually and in support of other bowlers in the Test team - specially as the foil to Mitchell Johnson and Ryan Harris during the 5-0 Ashes sweep four summers ago - Siddle has faced an apparent reluctance by the selectors to choose him at various junctures, most notably in England last year.This time around Mennie has been touted as a possible into the wind seamer given his strong record for South Australia in Perth and also a greater spread of matches this year for Australia A and the Redbacks, on either side of two appearances for the ODI team in South Africa. Hazlewood, however, spoke strongly for Siddle.It is great to have Sids in the 12 and hopefully he gets a crack on Thursday, Hazlewood said after the Test series launch at Elizabeth Quay in Perth. It is great to have an experienced player in the squad who can talk about the different players and the way to go about it. He is valuable come team-meeting time.Hazlewood will make his return to the national side having spent the past month resting up alongside Mitchell Starc, rather than playing in South Africa. He admitted the pair exchanged a few miffed text messages as Australia were throttled 5-0 by South Africa.It did cross the mind occasionally watching from home, Hazlewood said. I didnt watch too much of it. It was tough to watch at times. You would love to be on every tour and playing every game but the way the schedule is impossible for the quicks to do that.Mitch Starc and myself were sending a few text messages back and forth wondering what was going on. Playing South Africa at home is tough in any format. The young bowlers will learn from that.The flatness of some of Australias recent displays has caused some level of introspection about the way the team carries itself on the field, something Hazlewood acknowledged. I dont need to be angrier but I have to have a presence, he said. That is easier to do when you are at home and on top and playing well.When you are down in the dumps, as we were in Sri Lanka, and coming from behind all the time it is a lot harder to do. If we get off to a good start on Thursday we can lead from the front.For that to be possible, many eyes will be on the WACA pitch. The Western Australia boys who played on it last week said there was a little bit there for bat and ball, Hazlewood said. Last year was a bit disappointing and hopefully there is a bit more pace and bounce than this years WACA wicket and it gets back to its traditional way it usually plays.

WASHINGTON -- Milwaukee right-handed pitcher Zach Davies began his minor league career in the Baltimore Orioles farm system, making his minor league debut in 2012 with Single-A Delmarva in Salisbury, Maryland.The next year, he pitched for nearby Class A Frederick in the Carolina League and in 2014 he was in the Eastern League with Double-A Bowie, less than 20 miles from Nationals Park in Washington.Davies will make his first start in Washington on Tuesday in the second game of the series against the Nationals. A former 26th-round pick by the Orioles, Davies went to high school in Arizona.A Washington state native, Davies was traded by the Orioles to the Brewers last year at the trade deadline for outfielder Gerardo Parra. He made his big league debut last year with six starts with the Brewers.Davies comes into the game with a record of 5-4 and an ERA of 4.22. He is coming off a start where he went 4 1/3 innings and allowed six earned runs against the Los Angeles Dodgers.Davies has only one prior start against the Nationals, where he earned a no-decision on June 24. In that start, he went five innings and allowed three earned runs on seven hits. The Brewers are 7-7 in games that Davies has started.It will be hard for Davies to top the outing on Monday by Junior Guerra, who went 7 1/3 innings and allowed no runs and two hits in a 1-0 win over the Nationals.It feels like he keeps getting better, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said. In the big spots, he seems to step up even more.dddddddddddd He really competing out there. Its been fun to watch. Junior carried the load out there big time.Guerra ran his scoreless innings streak to 15 1/3 innings and he has not allowed a run since June 22 against the Oakland As. He is now 6-1 with a 2.93 ERA for the Brewers after he made his major league debut last season in three games with the Chicago White Sox.On the mound for the Nationals on Monday will be Gio Gonzalez, who is coming off his first win in seven starts. The native of suburban Miami will come into the game with a record of 4-7 and an ERA of 4.81.His last start against Milwaukee came in a 5-6 loss on June 25, when he went three innings and allowed six runs, all earned, on six hits. Gonzalez is 2-2 in six starts all time against the Brewers. The Nationals are 6-10 this season when the veteran lefty takes the mound.Gonzalez has a spot in the rotation for now after right-hander Joe Ross went on the disabled list Sunday. That means rookie Lucas Giolito, who made his big league debut Tuesday, will stay in the rotation along with Stephen Strasburg, Tanner Roark and Max Scherzer.The Nationals have six games left before the All-Star break.We would like to finish strong, manager Dusty Baker said Monday. When it comes to winning and victories, I am a greedy man. ' ' '
