description: "Lieutenant-General Sir William Draper KB was a British Army officer who led the expedition which captured Manila in 1762 during the Seven Years' War. Later during the American War of Independence he played a more controversial role in the spirited but unsuccessful defence of Menorca as the island's second in command to James Murray. Draper took a keen interest in the early sport of cricket in England and played a role in the 1774 meeting which agreed on an early set of cricket rules including the leg before wicket rule."
