Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Though his Test appearances were relegated to intermittent ones, Vincent had a fair run in ODIs with his agile fielding and occasional wicket-keeping skills often tilting the balance in his favour. His most cherished moment came when he struck 172 against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo, setting a new record for the highest individual score by a Kiwi batsman in ODIs until fellow Aucklander, Martin Guptill surpassed him with an unbeaten 189 against England in 2013. With Nathan Astle calling time on his career, Vincent was expected to slip into the opener's shoes. However, he fell prey to vast bouts of inconsistency and was omitted from the team. In the interim, the team management's rotation policy too did not help his cause and his international career hit rock-bottom.
After being dropped from the New Zealand side, Vincent suffered depression. He further strained his relationship with New Zealand Cricket by singing up for the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League after overcoming the disorder. With his international career cut short, Vincent established himself as a jobbing batsman for hire, playing for four different English counties and a whole lot of other teams around the world.
In May 2014, Vincent's reputation took a beating when he was charged with match-fixing offences by the ECB, relating to his deliberate under-performance for Sussex in a CB 40 match and a T20 clash in 2011.
A few weeks later, Vincent was banned for life from all forms of cricket by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) after he admitted his involvement in match-fixing during his county stints. The ban has also been extended to the Champions League T20. Accepting his wrongdoings, Vincent commented, 'My name is Lou Vincent and I am a cheat. I have abused my position as a professional sportsman on a number of occasions by choosing to accept money in fixing.'

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Despite an outstanding start to his Test career, a century and a half-century in his first Test, played at Perth in the summer of 2001-02, Lou Vincent's career has remained an unfulfilled one. He struggled to live up to those early expectations, played only 23 Tests, and in 2014 was banned for life by the ECB for breaching their anti-corruption regulations.
Vincent played his last international match in 2007, but his career low came after that, when he was involved with bookmakers during the England county season. Vincent later pleaded guilty to these charges, which referred to three matches during the 2008 and 2011 season, and also to a CLT20 match in 2012.
In the early part of his career, though, Vincent was seen a fine batting talent. Following his outstanding Test debut in 2001-02, he wasn't always consistent, but came up with some top-class performances. A superb 224, his first Test double-century, against Sri Lanka was then followed up with a good one-day series in South Africa, in October 2005 and he returned home with his reputation intact, unlike many of his team-mates. The following season he signed for Worcestershire but he then had a disappointing Champions Trophy and was overlooked for the home Test and one-day series against Sri Lanka.
When his ODI return came, as a replacement for Nathan Astle in the tri-series in Australia in early 2007, Vincent grabbed the chance with both hands and strung together innings of 66, 76 and 90. It made him New Zealand's second-highest run-scorer for the tournament, despite playing only half the games and secured his ticket to the Caribbean. He began with two ducks before finding his form with a century against Canada, but a broken wrist ended his tournament before the Super Eight stage.
His career nosedived after a poor run of form during the tour of South Africa and the Chappell-Hadlee Series that followed. Dropped for the tour of Bangladesh, he admitted to suffering from depression and lost his contract with New Zealand Cricket after joining the unsanctioned Indian Cricket League.
He since plied his trade mainly in limited-overs cricket on the English county circuit, turning out for Lancashire in 2008, Northamptonshire in 2010 and Sussex in 2011, before the corruption charges and the life ban ended that stint rather unceremoniously.
