Fans are impatient and that is fine, most fans are fickle. But the problem is when the people running the cricket are impatient and do moronic things you expect from fans. Time and again talented cricketers have been wasted and time and against good teams have been destroyed because of the utter stupidity of the world that Pakistan cricket lives in.
Technically its a government department and it's run as such with 'company men' being preferred to actual talent and the battle for control and power is more important than the product on the field that we fret over. Modern cricket should be about good scouting, good coaching and good management. The better teams have great scouting, great coaching and great management. Pakistan cricket runs on archaic systems. It's the chairmans scout, the chairmans coach and the chairmans management. It doesn't matter who the best man for the job is in terms of what he can actual do. The best man for the job always comes from the inner circle of the man running the show.
When you start with a handicap like that, it flows down on every level and thing that takes place within. The u19 coaches, selectors etc and then when you have to select a person coming through on his own merit that doesn't belong to the inner circle and cannot be "trusted", the leash is shortened and they go looking for excuses and every failure is magnified and every flaw is repeated again and again and not remedied. While trusted insiders failures and lack of fitness are tolerated and every success is magnified and they are given multiple chances to return to the team even on the basis of a single performance because they are insiders, company men as they say.
