Binney was principally an opening bowler. He made a single first-class appearance for Victoria during the 1909–10 season, against Tasmania. He took no wickets for 72 from 30 six-ball overs and, batting at number eleven, he scored 29 runs in the only innings in which he batted, as Victoria won the match by an innings.[2]
Binney married Naomi Frances Proud in Melbourne in December 1917.[3] He worked as a commercial traveller. In 1931 was elected secretary of the Victorian branch of the Commercial Travellers' Association, and retired from the position in 1956.[4][5] At the time of his death in the Melbourne suburb of Brighton in 1978, aged 93, he was Victoria's oldest living first-class player.[6]
