I thought the challenge offered plenty of anagram potential as was admirably demonstrated by penda in one clue. Perhaps it wasn't easy to incorporate these and a suitable definition with a smooth surface but I did like paul's purified with sparkling, his imaginative anagrind @22, fiery's use of law as in physics and tyke combining it with ref.
Other touches I like include kt's aft er (perhaps even more so with a synonym of glow), mattrom's hangover & Jagger compilation, paul's rear of the Queen and tyke's double entendre Big Bang.
I'm a big Adams fan so I'm aware of luffness chrise and I think it would have provided a really good pdm on solving if it was combined with suitable wordplay (I do appreciate that's subjective). sunray @ 20 reads very well but I'm not a fan of words "doing double duty", here circling, so reluctantly passed over (@6 I don't feel "good" sits right in the surface).No problem being slightly late jws, glad you made the effort. I'm assuming it's (David) Gower and other than including a "ghost" anagram as there's no specific reference, it comes together well "cricket wise" and is obviously topical. There's a lot I like with tyke @ 11 though I'd prefer to see something like "later" there.
My winner has me returning the baton to aristo with his @ 17 (with or without the comma)
