WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Disgraced cricketer Lou Vincent was motivated by greed, his disappointment at the end of his New Zealand international career and the feeling he could not say 'no' to his 'hero' to agree to get involved in fixing matches.

The 35-year-old top-order batsman was banned from cricket for life on Tuesday after he pleaded guilty to 18 breaches of the England and Wales Cricket board's (ECB's) anti-corruption regulations in three matches in England.
