I don't know about it being used in conversation, but "step up to the plate" is appearing just about daily in Brit newspapers and mags now. I suppose somebody got sent on a management course a couple of years ago and it's spread, like Japanese Knotweed. What's wrong with stepping up to the wicket? ("Touch base" seems to be falling out of fashion over here though.)
