I'll get you started:

In the first sentence, the noun phrases are 'the youngest player' (compound subject), 'the oldest one' (compound subject), 'two' (verb complement), 'the standout performers' (object of the preposition 'of'), 'Australia's successful defense' (object of the preposition 'in'), and 'its crown' (object of the preposition 'of').
