The Pink Report by Margot Butcher (Cricket Writer)
Margot Butcher has been covering the ups and downs of New Zealand cricket since 1988, when she was an international correspondent covering tours for the national Independent Radio Sport network - catching the end of the glory days when Sir Richard Hadlee and a stellar supporting cast seemed to scythe through top international opponents at will. A freelance writer, she’s since collected many awards for sports, current affairs and environmental jourmalism. In 2004 she was the first woman to win New Zealand’s supreme Sports Journalist of the Year award, and is the only person to have twice been named New Zealand’s cricket writer of the year. Margot’s also believed to have been the first woman world-wide to have been appointed editor of a national cricket magazine. Well known for her cricket features in North & South magazine and Air New Zealand’s Kia Ora, in between she’s penned sports books, including the biographies of New Zealand cricketers Danny Morrison and Chris Pringle, and more recently a celebration of New Zealand’s six Olympic gold medallists entitled Golden Girls. Born an Aucklander and raised in Central Districts territory, she’s since seen the light and now lives in the Northern Districts heartland, from which she’s able to keep a close eye on our favourite team.
