Would you find this defense?

Interesting deal from this month's Coffs Harbour Bridge Club Swiss Teams, match 8, board 25.

North deals, EW vulnerable.

♠ 1095

1094
♣ AJ10653

♠ J87

♣ Q74

♣ K2

♠ KQ2
AK64
A652
♣ 98


At our table North opened 3♣, I doubled and South bid 3NT. West led J, South won the Ace and ran the ♣9.

To beat this East must duck. Would you find that play without flinching? Three NS pairs played 3NT, and no East did (though one NS pair managed to go down anyway).
