Lou Vincent: 8 things to know about the controversial Kiwi
Despite a decent career, Lou Vincent would be remembered for his admission of his involvement in match-fixing. Within hours of accepting his wrongdoings, he was banned for life the ECB and the CLT20. He was under the scanner with an active investigation in place, but his statement in 2014 shook the cricket world. For some time, it was known that Vincent had battled depression, but the scourge of match-fixing hit him in early 2013 and tarnished what had been a largely successful career.
Vincent was first picked by for ODIs in 2001. However, he made a mark only later that year when he smashed 104 at WACA on his debut and followed it up with 54. The start, however, did not result into consistency at the highest level. A Test average of 34.15 and an ODI average of 27.11 is a reflection of that fact. Over the years, Vincent only played 23 Tests, and was more regular in ODIs.
Vincent was either an opening batsman, or dabbled at no 3. He had fast hands and was aggressive in his approach at the crease. He smashed 224 against Sri Lanka in a Test and 172 against Zimbabwe (then the highest for New Zealand). However, he suffered a loss of touch and was out of the side, making only sporadic appearances till 2007.
Later in 2007, Vincent revealed that he suffered from depression. He moved to County Cricket, where he played for Sussex and Lancashire. He also played for the Chandigarh Lions in the ICL and later for the Auckland Aces in before retiring in 2013.
