Youth revives Australia

For all the recent talk about Australia supposedly being an ageing side in decline it was worth noting that it was two of the team's youngest players that were primarily responsible for the first 3 Mobile Test win against New Zealand at the Gabba.
Both vice-captain Michael Clarke and rapidly improving left-arm quick Mitchell Johnson took major steps in their development as Australia overcame being bowled out for under 300 in each innings to beat the Kiwis comprehensively by 149 runs in little more than three days.
And while Australia might have several players in the team aged 30 plus who are closer to the end of their careers than to the beginning, in Clarke and Johnson lie two players whom future Test teams can be built around.
