Educated at Taunton School, Fear was a right-handed middle-order batsman. He made 23 in the second innings of his first match when Somerset were made to follow on by Sussex, and that was his highest first-class score.[2] In his only other first-class appearance he made five against Lancashire in a high-scoring match.[3]
