From what I can gather the term 'Guinea' derives from an old European generic description of people who lived along the Senegal River.

German Democratic Republic - double loser there.
Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea - well they got one bit right, it's in Korea.
Peoples Liberation Army - yes it IS an army. And an effing big one at that.
Nah they’re carrying too many past it players this time around. Kohli and Rohit are cooked. Ashwin’s not very effective anymore. Shami injured. Pant will get games but isn’t fit because of his car crash. Will be a whitewash.There is every chance India will beat Australia in Australia in the next series
