At my old club, for some guys, it was help yourself without even asking. Some guys didn’t even own a box. I never mind sharing stuff but when you start borrowing my brand new bat and start dragging it across the pitch, it is not cool. So I was carrying almost two of everything at one stage but later resorted to just saying NO.
There was a guy who will ask for a bat change half way through his innings and ask for mine, first few times I didn’t bother then when I saw him bashing my bat when he got out, I just had to say NO to him next time. It was quite funny because no one wanted to lend him their bat and he kept shouting for one from the pitch.
With the new club, I am yet to see anyone borrowing stuff, club kit is quite rich so they don’t need to really. As for borrowing myself, I cannot remember if I ever borrowed any of the kit, may be pads a couple of times.
