Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Roger first stepped into the limelight when he made 211 against Kerala, sharing a record unbroken 451-run opening wicket partnership with Sanjay Desai in 1977/78. He had an indifferent Test debut against Pakistan in 1979 as he scored 46 in the first innings, but stayed wicketless throughout the match.
Roger was an aggressive batsman and a good fielder, but it was his bowling mainly that kept him in the national team. His ability to swing the new ball both ways was an added incentive before the famous Indian spin quartet were introduced in the attack. In his third Test match in Bombay (now Mumbai) in 1979, he wreaked havoc against Pakistan by dismissing Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas and Javed Miandad early in their first innings. India eventually won the game by 131 runs.
Against West Indies in Ahmedabad in 1983, he took the wickets of Gordon Greenidge, Desmond Haynes and Vivian Richards for single-digit scores on the first morning. India though lost the game, courtesy Michael Holding's superb bowling in the final innings. His 7/58 in the second Test match against England at Headingley in 1986 helped India take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the 3-match series. Roger's best Test figures came at the Eden Gardens in 1987. Playing against Pakistan, he picked up 6/56, including a spell for 4/9 in their first innings.
Apart from his bowling, he was a handy batsman. In the first Test against Pakistan in 1983, he made an unbeaten 83 in his home city Bangalore and along with Madan Lal, added 155 runs for the seventh wicket. Their partnership helped India post 275 in the first innings after they were reduced to 85/6 at one point. Apart from making his Test debut in Bangalore, Roger also played his last Test match there.
The most glorious phase of his cricket career was the 1983 World Cup. He played a major role in India's winning campaign as he was the highest wicket-taker of the tournament, picking up 18 wickets.
He is the father of Indian cricketer, Stuart Binny. He was the coach of the Indian team that won the Under-19 World Cup in 2000. He became the coach of Bengal in 2007 before he became an administrator with Karnataka State Cricket Association. Roger was appointed as a national selector on September 27, 2012.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A versatile allrounder, Roger Binny proved his value to the Indian team in both Test cricket and the one-day game. He was capable of rescuing India, like he did while scoring 83 not out and sharing a record 155 run seventh-wicket partnership with Madan Lal against Pakistan at Bangalore in 1983. He was capable of bowling India to victory, as he did in taking seven wickets in the match at Headingley in 1986. Or when with a spell of 4 for 9 in 30 balls towards his best Test figures of 6 for 56, he pushed Pakistan to the wall at Calcutta in 1987. But there is no doubt that Binny's most outstanding feats were associated with limited overs cricket - and more specifically the 1983 World Cup. He played a leading role in India's victorious campaign taking 18 wickets, then the record in the competition.
Tall and athletically built, Binny was an aggressive batsman who could either open the innings or go in the middle order, was a medium-pace bowler who could swing the ball both ways - and was particularly effective in English conditions - and an excellent field. He first made his mark when putting on a record unbroken partnership of 451 runs for the first wicket with Sanjay Desai in the Ranji Trophy game against Kerala in 1977-78, his share being 211. He was generally in and out of the Indian team but whenever he was persevered with, he proved his value. With the ball, he was capable of destructive spells like when he dismissed Majid Khan, Zaheer Abbas and Miandad at Bombay in 1979 to put Pakistan on the backfoot or when he dismissed Greenidge, Haynes and Richards to rock the West Indies at Ahmedabad in 1983. A Karnataka stalwart for several years, Binny later made his mark as a coach and was given a lot of credit for the victory of the Under-19 team in the World Cup in Sri Lanka in January 2000. He was made Bengal coach in 2007, and was part of the Karnataka State Cricket Association management when appointed national selector in September 2012.
