William Murdoch Ross Drinnan (28 May 1883 — 10 March 1948) was a Scottish first-class cricketer.
Drinnan was born in May 1883 at St Quivox, Ayrshire. He played club cricket for Ayr and was particularly successful for the club in 1913, when he broke a number of Scottish amateur cricket records as a bowler.[1] Despite success at club level, it was not until 1928 that Drinnan represented Scotland in first-class cricket, making a single appearance against Ireland at Edinburgh.[2] With his slow left-arm orthodox bowling, he took three wickets in the match; he dismissed Arthur Robinson in the Irish first innings with figures of 1 for 59, and in their second innings he dismissed Thomas MacDonald and Arthur Douglas with figures of 2 for 43. In Scotland's second innings, he played a key role in helping them to secure a draw by remaining unbeaten on 24 and sharing in an unbeaten tenth wicket partnership of 44 with Thomas Watson.[3] Outside of cricket, he was a building contractor. Drinnan later died in the Wallacetown area of Ayr in March 1948.
