The gurus of marketing have never exactly been scientific in trying to divine our innermost desires - but Crayolas? Yep, and while you’re at it add collages, home surveillance and ““ambushing’’ to the list of unconventional tools being used these days to extract precious insights into the habits of the American consumer. Focus groups - where half a dozen ordinary folks are assembled to discuss Brand X while observers busily scribble notes behind a one-way mirror - may still dominate research into selling everything from dish soap to politicians, but they are slowly losing cachet....

However, they showed resilience to bounce back in Australia, despite the pressure of needing to return home with at least some pride restored. Defeat in the first Test piled more negativity onto Jones and his players, but successive wins to end the tour changed the complexion of their situation ahead of four home games in November....
