Poor Roger badly hit by blatant overcharging (8,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

daylight robbery

'blatant overcharging' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'poor roger badly hit by' is the wordplay.
'poor' is an anagram indicator.
'roger'+'badly'+'hit'+'by'='rogerbadlyhitby'
'rogerbadlyhitby' is an anagram of 'DAYLIGHT ROBBERY'.

(Other definitions for daylight robbery that I've seen before include "as shoplifting usually is" , "Blatant overcharging" , "A shameless swindle" , "Extortion" , "Scandalous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
