Barrie Lemim of East Preston, near Littlehampton, wants cricketers on the ground next to his home in Sea Lane to adopt a new rule.
He says the cricket club should make sixes count for nothing so that there is less chance of balls landing in his garden.
If they do not agree, Mr Lemim is contemplating legal action that could knock the club for six.
He says endangering people in nearby gardens simply isn't cricket.
