Hi Daryl,
Work on your blocking stroke. Take a look at these tutorials on the Backhand Block and Forehand Block.
Then also watch the tutorial on Improving Your Reflexes. This will help you get to more balls.
However, I think the best advice comes in this tutorial on I Can't Return That Smash!.

Tactics Against a Good Short Pusher
Use a long push or a flick to open up the game against someone who is beating you at the short game. It might not be your favourite way to play but if you are losing the short game you need to mix things up. In the long run you certainly need to improve your own short game.
