Peter Siddle has taken a career-best Big Bash League haul to the help the Adelaide Strikers roll the Hobart Hurricanes for 146 on a seam-friendly deck in Launceston.

The veteran took 5-16 from 3.3 overs on Tuesday night after the Strikers opted to bowl first.

Siddle took the new ball and had Hurricanes' linchpin D'Arcy Short out for just two before returning to run through the lower order at the death.

The Hurricanes fell to 3-20 after 22 balls before Ben McDermott and South African import Colin Ingram launched a mini-recovery.

Fresh off a century for Australia A against India in the pink-ball tour game, McDermott hit 46 from 33, while Ingram scored 46 from 35.

Adelaide's Wes Agar chipped in with 2-28 and removed the dangerous Ingram in the 16th over as the Hurricanes were looking to launch.

The Hurricanes were all out in the final over when Siddle clean bowled Riley Meredith.

For the first time since new rules were introduced this season, both teams used their x-factor substitute players at the 10-over mark.

The Hurricanes opted to bolster their batting by replacing spinner Johan Botha with Mac Wright.

However, he didn't have the desired impact becoming one of Siddle's victims for 15.

Adelaide took out spinner Danny Briggs, whose one over went for 15, and included allrounder Matt Short who bowled six balls for eight runs.

Under the rule, teams can bring in one of two reserves into their XI, provided they haven't batted or bowled more than one over.

Hobart have won two-straight to start the season while Adelaide lost their opening match to the Hurricanes on Sunday.
