Hi Morgs,
Local teams in your area. They should have some contact details, perhaps you can wonder down to a couple of their winter nets and see whether you'd fit in. Tbh this guy sounds like a k-(No Swearing Please), so I'm not surprised about that...
Hope you find a new time to hopefully use your 2 Salii with ;)

Get onto your local sides whom you've played against before, see if they fancy taking you on. Get yourself down to a couple of their nets, introduce yourself, that sort of thing. If you've ever played really well against a side they're normally a good bet as they remember you demolishing their bowlers/pegging back their batsmen!

Or what Mike says... Although he's quite big, don't do what he says, he'd stand more of a chance than the rest of us!

Fully agree with Mike perhaps next time he walks down the wicket just nut him and you will have no further problems.

He's the one in the wrong, if you enjoy were you play then stay. Stand and fight your ground

How about you get the club chairman to have a word with him about his behaviour. If that doesn't work I would suggest a move. Perhaps see if there are any forum members near you who's team you could join... :)

I think you should talk to the club you play for mate because if your held in any esteem they will listen to you.

Failing that i would stand your ground and always you should remember most aggressive behaviour is not a product of you but a product of another persons personal being.

Of he is taller than you either a quick nut to the nose or a swift one two to the ging gang goolies.

I would go with mikes option personally but hey that's me ;)

You have to be happy as at the end of the day it's a hobby so no point if it's not enjoyable
