It is impossible to construct a layout where the 2 is the right lead. It had everything to lose and nothing to gain. I think only the lead was a clear error. I think North's double is more maligned than it should be. To bid 5 over 5 is a tough call.
Partner is supposed to be short in clubs, but is also supposed to be short in diamonds.
Sometimes partner will be able to make the right decision with that information. Several would bid 5 over 5 as South. With six top red losers, we could go for our lives, and if 5 is down, that could be very very expensive. It's far less clear, however, after the double. I don't know if South should bid then.
