Crook burgled sponge (7)
I believe the answer is:
bludger
'sponge' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'crook burgled' is the wordplay.
'crook' indicates an anagram (a crooked or broken form of the letters).
'burgled' with letters rearranged gives 'BLUDGER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
