Vincent made his international debut in 2001, but in 2007 his Black Caps career ended. Struggling with depression, his performance was patchy. And then he found a lifeline: the rebel Indian Cricket League, the ICL - glitzy and glamorous. It wasn't quite the gentleman's game, but an opportunity to make some money. He says, "It was literally like a scene out of a proper gangster movie." But then, in December 2013, it emerged Vincent was being investigated by the ICC in relation to match-fixing allegations. The movie was over. And now, as his fiancee "holds his hand", Lou is turning his life back around: "I love life. It's as simple as that".

There is lou Vincent and then there are people like azharuddin. A superstar in india, movie made in india and a successful politician

[@ChuckwaldMartin]

Whats the difference? Azharuddin was a much better player

[@Mohammad-madarchodtha]

thats sad really

[@sbtkalkaji]

@@ChuckwaldMartin in azhar's last 10 years of cricket, i dont recall 10 inningshe played which you can call him a player at all.. have a close look, and the shame on BCCI that kept him playing till the time he was accused of match fixing, it wasn't only azhar... many at the top were also a part.

After watching this video i have a lot of respect for him. He just got trapped in this. Thats very unfortunate. I am still a big fan of lou Vincent.

There's no reason to believe him. He's playing the "aww shucks" routine to get sympathy.

Good thing is this lou is quite open about his actions , here in Indian cricket all convicted players to this day denied the allegations against them and they were involved , GREAT RESPECT FOR LOU

also interesting to see that in all famous match fixing scandals, somehow India country is involved...

[@leftfield5914]

“Sadly you will be remembered as a cheat” lol why generalise? And speak for everyone? When I think of Lou Vincent I remember a hard hitting batsman and sweet timer of the ball who did well against Australia 🇦🇺

chris cairns was a good player but bad actor though. Cut the crap Chris, He had cheated too

[@shahmianas8512]

12:26 is he referring to Cairns here?

[@rahulbhardwaj4718]

people should give him one more chance, If Aamir can he can too... He has honesty in his eyes... one can see that

[@akshayganesh4144]

Amir was a kid when was trapped by bookmakers. Lol guys like Vincent and cairns may be are talented but they did a big mistake. Infact they were trying to trap other nz players in their net. It was good that the board banned these ppl for life.

[@harshwardhanagrawal6836]

I really respect him for how he made amends for his crimes. That's all that matters.

[@mrkipling2201]

I feel a bit sorry for him after watching this. Some things are worth more than money, like peace of mind and self respect. He was used and spat out by the vultures who control the world of match fixing. If gambling wasn’t illegal in India, I think we wouldn’t have half of the match fixing problems that we do. I respect the person who holds his hands up and says yes I did this, I made a huge mistake and I apologise, a lot more than someone who lies and tries to wriggle out of the situation and does anything to save his own arse. I hope he gets another chance in cricket in some form or another because he deserves a 2nd chance.

[@BhargavGadhavi]

It takes so much of courage to accept everything and speak the truth champion I would say so many cricketers might have done that but it's just that they didn't get caught it doesn't mean they r not involved Respect for you Hope you find purpose to live and makes your family proud some way or the other :) #Respect That lady interviewer was so disgraced and stone hearted I feel bcoz when someone is accepting everything you should understand the fact how he has gone through horrific phase of his life. People make mistakes he didn't killed someone plz be polite in your approach

[@naheedkhalid8309]

Betting is allowed in many countries alright but when it comes to involvement of players in tainted outcomes that is where it all gets dangerous. It's anybody's guess how widespread match fixing in cricket still is. But the controls that ICC and others have put in place seem to be insufficient.

[@souravmitra7172]

Unluckily Virat Kohli and Indian Cricket Team who is the mother and father of match fixing is not banned .

Its easier to admit to fixing in foreign domestic leagues than in international matches, because, lets face it, leagues like ICL, IPL etc are tailor made for fixing and no one will be surprised or angry or heartbroken. Although he was bringing out his acting talent throughout the interview, it went too far when he made that dramatic pause at 22:55 to answer whether NZ players were involved. That's when I stopped watching.
