I don't know if this has been discussed here, but wanted to get your views? What do folks here think about Ashwin's pause and bowl action? Is it legal? There may not be any specific rules against it, but it definitely doesn't doesn't seem right in the spirit of the game. It is as distracting to the batsmen as, say, the movement behind the sightscreens would be.
What do others think?

Plenty of bowlers have had such actions down the years. There's
nothing wrong with it at all. If batsmen find it difficult to time him
as a result, that's their problem.
Cheers,

The batsman has many advantages, such as being allowed to charge up the
track, back away to leg etc. There does however have to be a limit to the
extent of the pause because we don't want to get into a situation in which
the batsman cannot tell whether or not the bowler is actually going to
deliver the ball.

Hi Andrew,
Saw your message after I replied to Holsman. But yes, would the situation you describe be illegal by the rules?

So suppose, a bowler only delivers the ball half the time, i.e. runs in to deliver the ball say 12 times in an over, but only bowls 6 times, and does not release the ball remaining 6 times, would that be still legal? By your reasoning, it would be.

illegal per se about preparing to bowl and then not letting go of the ball,
but if it happens repeatedly then sooner or later the umpires are going to
invoke Law 42.9 Time Wasting by the Field Side. Once the bowler has been
warned for time wasting, he runs the risk on further transgression of
conceding a five run penalty and being removed from th bowling crease for
the remainder of the innings.
Incidentally, Mike did not 'reason' that it would be ok for a bowler to fail
to let go of the ball six times in a over. He simply answered the question
that was put in front of him, which concerned a pause in the bowling action.

The other six balls would be called dead by the umpire. There is nothing
