Batting with no indication of time, completely overwhelmed (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inundated

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'completely overwhelmed' is the definition.
'inundated' can be an answer for 'overwhelmed' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'completely' bit.

'batting with no indication of' is the wordplay.
'batting' becomes 'in'.
'with no indication of' becomes 'undated' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in'+'undated'='INUNDATED'

'time' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for inundated that I've seen before include "flooded" , "drowned" , "Deluged" .)
