HEAVY rain has halted Tasmania's push for victory in its must-win Sheffield Shield clash with Victoria at Bellerive Oval.
The Tigers are 0-7 after bowling the Bushrangers out for 358 and collecting first innings points.
David Hussey was the last man out for 112, with paceman Evan Gulbis collecting 5-104, his maiden five wicket haul in first class cricket.
Tasmania needs outright points to have any chance of sneaking into the Sheffield Shield final, while a win for Victoria will ensure it hosts the decider.
