'Suicide has been my mindset': Century against Australia on debut, 224 in last home Test, now no money to buy tie, shoes

Hindustan Times  

Who would have imagined a sprawling 27-year-old three-format international cricketer would have daily suicidal thoughts? Former New Zealand cricketer Lou Vincent Vincent played his last international match in 2007. Vincent now lives in a remote part of New Zealand’s north island near Ninety Mile Beach, where he makes a living “doing up old s---ty houses”. He was spotted giving a speech at a cafe a stone's throw away from Basin Reserve, where he scored 224 against New Zealand in his last Test match at home. After losing his central contract with NZC, Vincent had joined the now-defunct Indian Cricket League in 2008, where he was introduced to match-fixing by former New Zealand all-rounder Chris Cairns.
