Career
An all-rounder and occasional wicket-keeper who was mainly associated with Sheffield, he made 22 known appearances in first-class matches. He represented the North in the North v. South series. In 1838, Dearman challenged Alfred Mynn for the single wicket "championship of England".
They played two matches at Town Malling and Sheffield.
Dearman was so small beside Mynn that they were dubbed "David and Goliath".
