Do we need this ( gambling ) game?

Hey Folks

Do we, those who love sports, games and humanity really require a game like cricket?
Is it ridiculous to spent such huge amounts in the name of a game when millions of people around the world are dying of hunger?

Please put in your thoughts....

Thanks
