From Bundaberg,Queensland,Drinnen represented the state at under-19 level,and also played several matches for a Queensland Country side in the National Country Cricket Championships. [1] A wicket-keeper,he debuted for Queensland during the 1988–89 season,playing two limited-overs matches in two days against the touring Pakistanis,both at Mackay's Ray Mitchell Oval. [2] In the first-class Sheffield Shield,he played three matches in the middle of season,with Queensland's usual wicket-keeper,Ian Healy,having been called up to play for the national side. [3] On debut against South Australia,he recorded what was to be his highest first-class score,scoring 74 runs and featuring in a 124-run partnership for the seventh wicket with captain Greg Ritchie. [4] Competing with Peter Anderson for the keeper's spot in the absence of Healy,Drinnen played only two Shield matches the following season,with his last match for Queensland coming in March 1990,in the semi-final of the limited-overs FAI Cup.

With his career in Australia limited by injury, [5] Drinnen played a number of seasons as a professional for Forfarshire in the Scottish National Cricket League (SNCL), [1] and later coached the team.

In cricket,a hat-trick occurs when a bowler takes three wickets with consecutive deliveries. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings,but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick;run outs do not count,although they can contribute towards a so-called team hat-trick,which is ostensibly a normal hat-trick except that the three successive deliveries can be wickets from any bowler in the team and with any mode of dismissal.
