Bludgeoned
I can’t think of any other word that better describes the assault on the English bowlers by Hayden and Symonds than bludgeoned. Battered is quite good but somehow it doesn’t quite work as well.
Bludgeoned is a sadly underused word in the English language. A bit like piffle. I think it’s great that those two nice Australian chaps gave me an opportunity to use it. I’m sure that the post match press conference with Duncan Fletcher will also give me an opportunity to use piffle too.

You guys deserved better.
Great blog.
Good luck in 09.
Felt so sorry for Flintoff today. Top bloke; faced it like a man.
A lesson for all of us in how quickly life can change.
C’mon Aussie for 5-0. Good luck Soap-dodgers!

Hi Michael,
I think the 5-0 is pretty much a certainty now and, in truth, nothing more than Australia deserve.
