Well, some milestones most of these players can reach in this NZ series.
But others have no chance. For example, Khaled Mahmud will not be involved in test match cricket, so there's no point in waiting for Mahmud to reach the milestone of 500 runs. In addition, the wickets of Bangladesh will not be pace-friendly (if our groundsmen do make them pace-friendly, then we won't have to look for milestones, we'll be utterly frustrated to see our batsman going down inside 180 odd runs or less in each test innings.), so there is no chance for Tapash to getting to the milestone of 50 wickets in the coming New Zealand series.
Other milestones, are pretty get-table this month, provided that we play well in this NZ series. Because if they can't, then they're on their way to getting dropped.
However, there are some minor things, like for example, I don't believe Mohammad Ashraful can score 202 runs in just 4 test innings, or Mohammad Rafique to score 125 runs in 4 test innings.
On the other hand, if Javed Omar, Khaled Mashud, Rajin Saleh doesn't reach their mile-stones of 1000 and 500 runs in this NZ test series, our batting will be a lot more disappointed than we're hoping it to be. Plus, if Rafique can't take those 4 wickets to get to 50 wicket-land-mark, there goes our chance for a hope of a draw.
