Lou Vincent (born 11 November 1978 in Warkworth) is a member of the New Zealand cricket team
A right-handed batsman, Vincent made his Test debut in 2001-02 when he opened the batting against Australia at Perth. In a bizarre New Zealand first innings of 534/9 declared which saw four players make hundreds but no-one else reach double figures, Vincent made 104. He followed this up with 54 in the second innings.
In 2005-06, Vincent hit 172 in a One-Day International against Zimbabwe at Harare to set a new record for the highest individual innings for New Zealand in ODIs, beating Glenn Turner's 171 not out against East Africa in the 1975 World Cup. Vincent's innings came off just 120 balls, and included 16 fours and nine sixes.
In 2006, Vincent signed for Worcestershire to play county cricket for part of the English season. He had a fine debut on 25 June, making 83 from 91 balls to help set up a 50-run win over Yorkshire in the C&G Trophy.
Vincent was recalled into the New Zealand squad for the Commonwealth Bank One Tri Series due to the sudden retirement of veteran Nathan Astle midway through the series. Since arriving in Australia he has become New Zealand's most prolific run scorer, with three consecutive half centuries which have resulted in New Zealand posting three consecutive scores over 290.
Vincent played in the early stages of this years world cup in the Carribean but after scoring a century and fielding well he caught a blow in the nets from Shane Bond and has fractured his wrist, he was replaced in the squad by Hamish Marshall.
Vincent is the son of ABC NewsRadio sports announcer Mike Vincent.
