Put aside the PSL corruption scandal and some minor organizational issues, how would you rate 2017 for Pakistan?

CT win
Internation games in Pakistan
PSL Final in Pakistan
Number 1 T20I team
First ODI win vs Australia in Australia since 2005
First series win in Windies though Windies are weak.
What more do you want?
2017 is the new 1992 for Pakisthan fans. So, it is a great year. Definitely.
Think we have our answer but do you think this was the best year ever in many years?
Best year in the last decade imo. Can't remember us having a better year.
Beat India in champions trophy final by a massive 180 run margin.
Only lost 1 limited overs series against a strong Australia at home.
Following a disappointing test series against srilanka with 8-0 in loi series.
PSL final in Pakistan
World xi visit to Pakistan
Srilanka visit to Pakistan
Hasan Ali number 1 odi bowler
Babar azam number 4 odi batsman
Pakistan number 1 t20 side
Imad wasim number 1 t20 bowler
Huge finds this year in shadab, rumman, Fakhar and imam.
Couldn't have been a better year!
A mixed bag year over all.
Absolute high with the CT win.
Lost 2 Tests to WI (home and away). Got blanked by Lanka in Tests. Blanked by Aus in Aus.
Good thing is, Pak has started to dominate ODI cricket once again. The emergence of new bowling talent along with a quick scorer like Fakhar and a reliable batsman like Babar has done wonders for Pak ODI team.
Test team is in bad shape. With or Without Misbah/YK (Both were well over 40 and below average), the Test team needs new batting talent. Bowling is still fine for Test cricket.
Pak will be a top team in T20 cricket. They have all the ingredients.
Apart from the Champions Trophy fluke, it was a pretty grim year.
However, 2017 is going to be remembered for the Champions Trophy and not the bilateral series. Similar to how 2009 is remembered for the WT20 even though it was a terrible year in terms of overall results. Multiple series defeats to SL, NZ, Australia etc.
Nonetheless, I expect things to only get worse from here. Our Test team is rubbish at the moment and the so-called revival in the LOIs fortunes is going to be arrested once we face some quality opposition.
