Former Everton ace Tim Cahill and Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak led Australia in their final training session ahead of the 2015 Asian Cup opener against Kuwait in Melbourne. Rejuvenating an ageing squad has been Socceroos coach Ange Postecoglou's primary focus since taking charge  but his greatest asset remains his oldest player, Cahill. The New York Red Bulls attacking midfielder stands out in a crowd of relative unknowns on the international stage and his influence on the squad and their results is undoubted.
